Cartesian Wins Prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation

21 April 2009
Cartesian Limited, a TMNG Global company and leading specialist technology consulting firm for the telecoms industry, announced on 21 April 2009 that it has received a celebrated Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Cartesian, which provides software and services to blue-chip telecommunications providers, won the award in the Innovation category for its software suite, Ascertain™.
In the UK alone, there are over 100 million fixed and mobile phone lines generating over 700 million call minutes and 150 million text messages daily. Ensuring that the charges for these are correctly calculated and that all are put onto customer bills is highly complex. Cartesian developed the Ascertain software to enable telecoms service providers to improve customer billing accuracy. Ascertain provides sophisticated controls to ensure that customers are not overcharged, and that service providers do not lose revenue through under billing. Through Ascertain, telecoms operators are saving millions of pounds in revenues that previously were not recouped.
Commenting on the receipt of the award, Alan Strong, co-founder of Cartesian said:
“We are honoured to receive the Queen’s Award, the most prestigious business accolade in the UK. The Cartesian team has been helping telecoms operators with their complex problems for many years now and we are thrilled that our pioneering work has been recognised in this way.”
Development of the Ascertain software suite began nearly ten years ago and initially focused on provision of sophisticated, comprehensive control to assure the accuracy of the billing process. Improvements and enhancements have been made continuously since then and Ascertain now provides a software framework within which Cartesian have developed a range of solutions from revenue management through to provisioning.
Janos Sivo, co-founder of Cartesian commented:
“As the telecoms business is rapidly evolving and customer billing and service becomes more complex, we are continuing to invest and innovate to ensure that we provide the ongoing support that our customers need - allowing them to improve the service they offer to their customers as well as protect their bottom line.”
Founded in 1996 by four telecoms professionals, Cartesian has since grown to a team of about one hundred people. The company is achieving considerable commercial success for its consulting services as well as its Ascertain software capability, with a proven track record on creating and retaining satisfied customers.
