Co-operation with Partners

Co-operation with Partners -
Value for our Customers

The essence of communication is the exchange of information. Communication networks - be it fix, mobile, Internet or what so ever - are, in effect, a giant marketplace. A communication link - such as a URL, a phone number, an e-mail-address, etc. - acts both as a direct business tool and as a gateway from which other businesses can be accessed. It is unlikely that in an environment of this scale any individual business will be able to meet all of its customer's needs.

For our world - the billing community - this implies a complete drift away from vendors of monolithic products towards the offer of function focussed systems open to interact with "every" other best of breed application.

This is why we at B4E believe in true partnerships: Because this is not only a matter of systems or products - it is a basic mental attitude of the people making business.

These factors create an environment in which, for many businesses, especially in the telecommunication business, the best option is to team up with others to deliver a product range or a service the customer perceives as the real business value.



The Global Billing Association

The GBA is the voice and advocate of the billing industry.

Several key industry groups are now co-operating in the development of new (telecommunication) networks and services. Through the GBA’s active participation in this emerging network of trade associations and standards bodies, the billing industry now has an important role in the delivery of future services. By facilitating structured industry debate on key issues, the GBA communicates the challenges, vision and ideas of the billing community directly to the decision makers.

B4E has been a member of the GBA for quite a while, and still shares the views of the GBA.
