Norderstedt, Germany, May 19 2006 - At next weeks Billing Systems London,

On May 12, 2006 the Judges for this year's World Billing Awards announced their
decision on the companies to be shortlisted as finalists for each of the World Billing
Awards 2006. The winners will be announced at the Billing and Information Management
Systems 2006 Gala Dinner on Thursday, June 8 2006. ENTEREST is nominated in the
following category: "Most Innovative Billing Product (Software Vendor or Hardware
Manufacturer) Innovation and functionality in both product offering and approach
to market".
ENTEREST's core product is the flexible CDR-Management tool "EDR Workbench". It
addresses one of the major challenges of the telecommunication industry: managing
and processing CDRs (Call Detail Records). Everyday, service providers and telco
carriers have to deal with millions of CDRs in various formats which have to be
converted into a readable form for further processing. With EDR Workbench, ENTEREST
offers a solution to manage CDRs over the whole billing process: mediation, rating
and billing. The strength of EDR Workbench is the flexibility in configuring any
type of CDR-format and processing logic.
EDR Workbench is a client-server application with multiple domains across multiple
tiers. The main components of EDR Workbench are factories, sections, bots and CDRs.
It provides a wide range of possibilities to manipulate CDRs: from pure interactive
analysis to fully automated processing. Viewing CDRs, modifying data, correcting
fields, browsing files, editing values, analyzing content, validating CDR processing,
comparing CDRs with other CDRs, converting formats, verifying consistency, transforming
structure, checking completeness, storing data, simulating formats and generating
any kind of test-CDRs.
One of the most striking features of EDR Workbench is the integrated TAP 3 editor.
EDR Workbench not only deals with any TAP or RAP format by configuration (incl.
TAP 3.11 and RAP 1.3), it can also reflect the necessary processing steps for completely
automating the roaming CDR-logic. The flexibility of EDR Workbench ensures that
it adapts to any existing in-house-chain, thus enhancing it to serve the carrier's
roaming requirements instead of replacing existing investments.
The flexibility in manipulating any given CDR format is provided through ENTEREST's
own openBSL® (open Bot Scripting Language) – a modern, object-oriented language
to analyze and manipulate CDRs. openBSL® is fully integrated into EDR Workbench
and optimized for CDR-processing tasks. It grants access to complete CDR-structures
and content. Special methods enable the access to any CDR-field, to create CDRs
and batches on-the-fly, duplicate or dump records, analyze and modify content automatically.
EDR Workbench enables operators to dramatically increase the quality of their processing
while providing a wide range of CDR-handling possibilities at the same time. This
enables carriers to focus on their core business and allows system integrators to
explore new business opportunities. Customers like O2 and Swisscom have adopted
EDR Workbench, just like renowned service firms like Accenture and Atos Origin.
