Subex, a global provider of business support systems for telecom service providers, announced its agreement with NetCracker, a telecom OSS provider and part of the $40 billion NEC group, to sell its activation business.
The decision to sell the activation business is a result of a change in Subex strategy to focus on its core products including ROC Solutions (Revenue Assurance, Fraud Management, Partner Settlement, Data Integrity Management etc.) and Managed Services.
This decision and the renewed focus will enable Subex in growing its revenues over 20 percent annually with positive growth in EBITDA and will make the company a significant force in the industry.
The Activation business includes service fulfilment solution (NetProvisioning, NetOptimizer and Vector).
According to Analysis Mason, Subex’s addressable market size in 2011 will be $1.56 billion and is the market leader in the global business optimisation market which includes fraud, revenue assurance, analytics, cost management and credit risk management.
