“The projects and products we assessed clearly demonstrated the broadening scope of billing and information management within the increasingly complex communications value chain, and the ability of service providers, consultants and ISVs to identify and implement innovative business models and approaches to markets in far-from-traditional telecoms environments.”

The award is the latest in a series of accolades for Highdeal and demonstrates Highdeal’s continued success.
