Comverse Total Call Completion Suite Services Inform and Empower Kyivstar's Wireless Subscribers.The Largest European Deployment to Date of the Notify Me Solution WAKEFIELD, Mass. -- Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing services, today announced that Kyivstar, the largest mobile operator in Ukraine with more than 23 million subscribers, has successfully launched two services -- Who Called and Notify Me -- from the Comverse Total Call Completion Suite. The new tools given by these services to the called and calling parties can significantly increase the call completion rate in the network. This marks the largest European deployment to date of the Comverse Notify Me solution for callers. "We launched these Comverse Total Call Completion Suite services because every call is important to us and we want our users to consistently benefit from the best experience possible," said Alexey Kireev, Head of the Product Development Department at Kyivstar. "Both parties receive key information about missed calls that empowers them with new capabilities that lead to the call's completion. This improvement of service is one of the ways that we enrich people's everyday lives by enabling them to communicate more freely and more effectively." The Comverse Total Call Completion Suite services deployed by Kyivstar include Who Called and Notify Me. Who Called delivers information about missed calls that the handset does not report, ensuring that the called party never misses the opportunity to know about all calls missed while unreachable (handset off, out of battery, out of service range). Notify Me provides a better customer experience for the caller, sending an SMS (1) (Storage Management System) Software used to routinely back up and archive files. See HSM.

Without having to redial In telecommunication, an automatic redial is a service feature that allows the user to dial, by depressing a single key or a few keys, the most recent telephone number dialed at that instrument. repeatedly until the call can go through, the caller now is assured of the ability to connect with the desired party at the soonest possible moment with a single click. Both services provide extra value to users and pave the way to a higher rate of call completion for the service provider. The suite's next-generation platform is based on the Comverse InSight[TM] Open Services Environment. "Comverse Call Completion services increase customer satisfaction and create a coherent call flow that can help to monetize every call attempt, proving itself with a fast ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ," said Benny Einhorn, President of Comverse EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Refers to that region of the world. For example, one might see products packaged differently for the UK, EMEA and Asia Pacific markets. .
