HELSINKI, December 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Comptel Solution to Improve Fulfillment Processes for Mobile Services at Orascom Sister Company

Comptel Corporation (OMX Helsinki: CTL1V), the leading vendor of dynamic Operations Support System (OSS) software, announced today that Greek operator WIND Hellas has selected Comptel Provisioning and Activation Solution.

WIND Hellas is owned by Weather Investments, which also owns a 50% plus one share of Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. This deal follows the announcements in 2007 of Comptel being chosen as preferred supplier by Orascom Telecom.

With an annual turnover of EUR1.3 billion and more than 5 million customers, WIND Hellas is one of Greece's largest telecommunications operators, operating in a competitive environment, where time-to-market for services is a key factor for success.

Mr. Nicolas Costaras, WIND Hellas CIO, says: In a market like ours, we need to be able to anticipate and respond to customer needs very rapidly. We need OSS solutions that are flexible enough to achieve the best possible time-to-market. We chose Comptel because we knew their solutions would meet that requirement. Comptel's existing collaboration with Orascom was clearly also very helpful for us.

The solution automates the provisioning and activation processes, covering the entire workflow from service order to start of billing. At WIND Hellas, the solution is used also to manage mobile number portability. The whole project was delivered in just 4 months.

Mr. Simo Sääskilahti, Comptel's Senior Vice President Products and Solutions, concludes: We are pleased to have been selected by WIND Hellas. We are also very proud that we managed to live up to their high expectations by delivering the project in a short time-frame, a good illustration of Comptel's time-to-market and reliable delivery promises.
