InterconnecT will be installed and supported in T-Mobile companies by Logica, already one of Intec's most successful business partners. T-Mobile has subsidiaries or joint ventures eligible to install InterconnecT under this agreement in Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, the UK, and Croatia, and is permanently extending its global footprint through acquisitions and new ventures. T-Mobile has also announced its intention to bid for UMTS (3G) licences in ten countries, to add to the licences it has won in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. A pilot installation of InterconnecT is already successfully operating in T-Mobile's Czech subsidiary, RadioMobil, and InterconnecT will now be available to Logica for installation in any other subsidiary or joint venture of T-Mobile under a standard agreement. Intec will receive a substantial licence fee for the group-wide deployment, as well as ongoing support and volume-based licence upgrade revenues. Hilmar von dem Bussche, T-Mobile's international IT coordinator, said: 'We are developing into a major pan-European organisation, and consider an efficient IT infrastructure as a key success factor. Our international IT strategy aims at combining the strengths of a large organisation with the advantages of flexible local units. We need long-term partners that support us in a smooth harmonisation of the IT landscape, based on products that fit the needs of multiple operators in a number of countries. Our experience to date with InterconnecT, after extensive investigation by a multinational expert team and a successful pilot installation, together with the impressive set of reference customers, has given us the confidence to back this international agreement.' Kevin Adams, Chief Executive Officer of Intec added: 'Intec is by far the dominant supplier of interconnect billing systems in many parts of Western and Central Europe, and this agreement gives us another substantial push forward in a number of key territories. T-Mobile is a high-profile win for us, which we believe results from a combination of Intec's leading market position and Logica's strong relationship with T- Mobile.' Jan Kubat, Managing Director of Logica Czech Republic, remarked: 'This contract is a good demonstration of Logica's ability to support the creation of new relationships, which offer a competitive advantage to our clients. Our long-term partnership with RadioMobil together with our global reach as a leading consulting company will enable the entire T-Mobile group to benefit from this leading edge software product.'
