Under a new private shareholder Orga Systems took a consistent, strategic focus on real-time based solutions for customer billing and administration in mobile telecommunication services.

We put closeness to customers into practice.
To us thinking globally and acting locally means to create jobs where they support our clients most efficiently: With the establishment and expansion of efficient subsidiaries and development centers, we unreservedly profess our commitment to the growth regions of our customers.

Mobile operators need future-proof billing systems which offer clear service and cost benefits.
By way of real-time based charging and billing solutions, we achieve these competitive edges for telecommunication service providers.

Orga Systems’ high-performance database, InCore®, which has been developed especially for processing large volumes of data, is leading worldwide and is currently the fastest data technology worldwide with regards to access speed.

The fully convergent billing platform OPSC Gold, a central system for billing all services for all prepaid and contract customers, guarantees profitable growth mobile operators worldwide.

The installation at TIM (Italy) with more than 40 million active mobile subscribers on our real-time billing system is one of the most future driven installation of this category worldwide.
