Nexign, a major international provider of BSS solutions, has announced the completion of Phase One and the commencement of Phase Two in the project on installing Nexign Converged BSS at Kcell, one of the largest mobile operators in Kazakhstan servicing 8 million subscribers, which accounts for a half of the country’s population.
Currently, the initial configuring of the system has been finalized and it is operating in pilot mode with a limited number of customers. Phase Two will include the adjustment and field-testing of the billing platform as well as on-demand migration, and will conclude with the system’s commercial commissioning. The remaining phases will focus on the migration of the company’s existing subscribers to the new billing system.
The project officially kicked off in April 2021. The operations are expected to conclude by late 2022. It aims to enhance the existing services as well as to introduce completely new ones, which would make the use of new products more convenient for Kcell and its subscribers.
Notwithstanding the external complications, the joint team on the project has successfully finalized the pilot run and proceed with configuring the system for on-demand migration of subscribers. This serves as yet another confirmation of the maturity of Nexign BSS. We are thankful to Kcell for choosing our solution and fruitful cooperation. We’ll keep moving towards the project conclusion together.

Last year, Kcell embarked on its major transformation process. We have adopted a five-year strategy with a view to become a fully digital operator and take a leading position in the market. The rollout of Nexign’s digital billing platform is one of the key areas for Kcell to achieve this ambitious goal, as it will enable us to develop unique digital products and services for our customers. It is our plan to fully complete the transition to the new billing platform by the end of 2022.
