Datec announces joint deal with i-conX, world’s fastest growing technology vendor for interconnect billing solutions

Fijian technology company Datec has unveiled an exclusive strategic partnership with the international software specialist i-conX solutions, at an inaugural signing ceremony held in Suva City, Fiji, 27th October.

Senior management from both companies attended the inauguration, including a four-person delegation from i-conX which flew in specially from Dublin, Ireland to celebrate and record the partnership with one of Fiji’s longest-established and best known IT solutions providers.

At the signing ceremony, Mr. Navin Nand, Sales and Marketing Manager for Datec, made the surprise announcement that Datec and i-conX has already signed off its first project in the region.

Mr. Nand commented : “Our first project together is with one of the most significant telco businesses in the Pacific region. We will work jointly with i-conX to implement and support its software solution, and project kick-off has already taken place”.

The strategic agreement gives Datec exclusive rights to market and support the i-conX products and solutions across the Pacific region.

i-conX has developed a specialist billing solution for the telco sector, which allows telcos to make accurate settlements with each other for the costs incurred handling call traffic between different networks.

The software company is based in Dublin, Ireland, and with 25 customers in 16 countries already it is the world’s fastest growing provider in what is known as the “interconnect billing” market. Earlier in 2009, it announced the opening of a regional office in Sydney, Australia, to support its entry into the Asia-Pacific market.

Those present at the signing ceremony included the i-conX founder and Dublin-based CEO, Mr. Brendan Rogan, together with Mr. Trilochana Reddy, General Manager for Datec and Mr. Navin Nand, Sales and Marketing Manager, and other colleagues from both i-conX and Datec.

Speaking for i-conX, VP Sales and Marketing Mr. Gavin Stewart commented : “We are proud and delighted to have joined forces with Datec. This partnership is central to our growth strategy for the Pacific region. As the Pacific region exhibits increased competitiveness in the telecoms sector, so it creates the right market conditions for our two organisations to identify and deliver new business opportunities together”.

Mr. Stewart continued, “In selecting Datec, we recognise that Fiji provides an excellent communications infrastructure and base for this particular territory. We also observe a highly skilled and committed local I.T. workforce, able to support and deliver our software solution successfully”.

Mr. Nand confirmed that Datec had identified and was pursuing additional future business opportunities across the region. i-conX also used its visit to Fiji to provide advanced training sessions to local staff.

Established in 1985, Datec employs over 100 staff in Fiji, and has got presence throughout the Pacific, as well as i-conX it has existing strategic partnerships with IBM, Oracle, Microsoft and SageACCPAC.

i-conX was founded in 2001, and has enjoyed rapid growth stimulated by increased telco competition and market liberalisation worldwide. It has customers in Europe, Russia, Africa and the Middle East, and in Europe has been recognised as a “Fast 50” technology vendor by international consulting firm Deloitte.

Earlier this year i-conX was recognised by the Irish Government as “an inspiration to other software and high technology companies seeking to export their products and services”.
