By combining this information, Telenor shall realise savings in through rationalisation of IT systems and improved processes supported by better data-accuracy.
This new project cements the long standing relationship between Telenor and Comptel.

In addition, Telenor will deploy Comptel’s reconciliation module to synchronise the inventory with other key legacy systems which form part of the provisioning workflow.
