Tokyo, Japan 08/06/02 – Inovaware Corporation, a leading provider of billing and customer management software for the next-generation Internet services and telecommunication industry, today announced that KDDI-OK, a subsidiary of Japanese carrier KDDI, has implemented Inovaware's PRISM™ platform for its ISP services.

The growth KDDI-OK has been experiencing over the last year heightened the need to replace the outsourced billing bureau and in-house legacy system the company was using in favor of a more scalable, feature-rich billing and customer care solution. the Japanese version of PRISM offers scalability, flexibility, and Japan-specific features to support local needs.

KDDI-OK had a very short implementation schedule but was impressed by Inovaware's responsiveness and ability to stick to their deadline. The company expects PRISM to have a rapid impact on day-to-day operations and bottom line by automating most the customer lifecycle. The PRISM platform will also be extended beyond support for ISP services to include cable IP and wireless voice offerings.

"We are very pleased to be working with KDDI-OK and are looking forward to a long-term relationship with them,” added David Keuning, VP Asia-Pacific at Inovaware. "The Asian service provider market is exploding, fueling the need for advanced OSS/BSS platforms such as PRISM. With this new win, we are further demonstrating our commitment to the Asian market."
