The order was awarded to ECtel and long-term partner Bull, one of
Europe's leading integrators of open-source software, to supply Vivo with
tools to obtain return on investment in its business-critical Information
Systems (IS), allowing Vivo to operate with the highest security and
efficiency levels.
'We started working with ECtel and Bull during a period of tremendous
growth for our company, counting on them to help us avoid problems stemming
from fraud and cloning,' said Adriana Moura, Vivo's Revenue Assurance and
Fraud Systems Manager. 'From day one, ECtel and Bull have been good partners,
providing Vivo with the support and guidance we needed to control and manage
our risk while maintaining our rapid pace of growth. We expect that ECtel's
FraudView 8.2 will enable us to better prevent new forms of fraud that are
continuously being introduced into the market.'
By upgrading to FraudView version 8.2, Vivo will benefit from superior
multi-environment real-time detection tools for increased revenue protection
and fraud prevention. The new localized version will also enable Vivo, for
the first time, to operate the system in Portuguese.
'Our decision to upgrade to FraudView 8.2 was based largely on our
successful track record with ECtel and Bull, and our satisfaction with the
solution, which enables us to significantly crack down on fraud and revenue
losses. We look forward to implementing the new version in our native
language and taking advantage of ECtel's industry expertise and leadership,
with Bull's added value as a local partner,' added Moura.
Vivo is equally owned by Portugal Telecom and the Telefonica group and
provides coverage to over 2,000 cities in Brazil.
