[Via Satellite 07-11-2014] Iridium has selected a new billing and revenue management solution provided by Oracle Communications in advance of the launch of Iridium NEXT. In the past, Iridium added new services as separate entities in the company’s legacy billing system. Oracle allows Iridium to consolidate its customer interface for all services in one platform.

“Our legacy billing systems had grown organically with the company and as such, their functionality and flexibility was limited,” said Jose Varela, vice president, billing, OSS and IT, Iridium. “This new system provides a host of new features and will enable us to quickly support all the new services and products we have planned, as well as those we have yet to imagine, standardizing the process and reducing our time to market.”
