Highdeal, the world leader in Pricing & Rating solutions, has been named to the 2007 “Pulver 100”, the IP Communications industry’s premier listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem. The company also announced that it has been named as a finalist in the TeleManagement (TM) Forum’s Excellence Awards in the category of “Most Innovative Supplier”. Both awards recognize Highdeal’s continued leadership in helping service providers to adapt their billing infrastructures to the new challenges of the multiservice world.

“We are proud to be named to the Pulver 100, along with such notable industry leaders as Broadsoft, Sylantro and Brightcove,” said Eric Pillevesse, CEO of Highdeal. “Service providers need the ability to experiment with revenue streams in order to fully monetize their new IP-based services – Highdeal delivers these crucial capabilities.” Highdeal is the only vendor from the billing community to be named to the Pulver 100.

“The Pulver 100 is the IP Communications industry’s first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like Highdeal continue to foster the growth of IP communications,” said Carl Ford, Vice President of Content and Community for Pulvermedia. “We’re proud to name Highdeal to this year’s Pulver 100.”

The TM Forum Excellence Awards recognize the global leaders in operational excellence and acknowledge the contributions which take this industry in new and innovative directions. The Most Innovative Supplier award is open to any Supplier or System Integrator company who has demonstrated exceptional thought leadership and innovation in the use of technology. The presentation of the awards takes place alongside TeleManagement World (TMW) Nice, the world’s leading OSS and BSS conference held annually in Nice, France.

“The TeleManagement Forum has led the industry in terms of BSS/OSS product interoperability,” added Pillevesse. “Recognition as an innovative supplier by TM Forum validates our commitment to opening the previously closed world of billing systems.”
