Oracle Buys Pre-paid Assets From eServGlobal

Oracle has agreed to acquire certain pre-paid software sets of eServGlobal. eServGlobal’s Universal Service Platform (USP), includes a pre-paid charging application, a network-services platform and a messaging gateway.

The combination of Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management and the USP applications is expected to accelerate the shift from network- to IT-based pre-paid systems by providing the first convergent, open IT-based platform from a leading business software and hardware systems company.

“The majority of mobile phone users worldwide use pre-paid plans, and that number is growing exponentially. Oracle Communications applications combined with the pre-paid software assets from eServGlobal will provide our customers with highly available and scalable carrier-grade, pre-paid software on an open, convergent platform. This will enable our customers to deliver traditional pre-paid voice services and easily introduce hybrid pre-paid and post-paid plans with targeted pricing, promotions and service bundles that include voice, data and network services,” said Liam Maxwell, Vice President- Products, Oracle Communications.
