STOCKHOLM, Sweden, February 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
DigitalRoute, the leading provider of mediation solutions for the communications
industry, has received the prestigious 2011 Stratecast Global CSP Billing Mediation
Competitive Strategy Innovation Award. The award is presented by the leading market
consultancy, Stratecast | Frost & Sullivan. The selection of Digital Route recognizes the
company's achievements in the areas of growth, market leadership, and product innovation.
Stratecast's evaluation criteria for the award included "Uniqueness of Strategy",
"Improves Market Position" and "Leverages Competitive Intelligence". DigitalRoute emerged
with the highest ranking among the evaluated vendors.
Founded in 2000, DigitalRoute has evolved from a pure-play billing mediation supplier
to a real-time data collection, aggregation, and correlation provider for any group of
business functions. DigitalRoute refers to this approach as "Horizontal Mediation".
Together with partner solutions, MediationZone from DigitalRoute has been deployed by
240 communication service providers (CSPs) around the world. Its revenue has grown
sharply, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 25% between 2007 and 2010, during
a global recession.
According to Stratecast's research, DigitalRoute is one of very few companies in the
mediation space, or any other part of the end-to-end CSP billing space, to effectively
utilize an OEM partner strategy. Stratecast also highlights the fact that DigitalRoute has
focused on mediation since its inception and even its recent expansion into policy control
is built around its strength in mediation. This strategy is a key ingredient in the
innovation process at DigitalRoute, as according to Stratecast's research it results in
"deeper insight into the longer-term needs of the marketplace from direct interaction not
only through its customers but also from its OEM partners."
"Our conclusion is that DigitalRoute's competitive strategy is absolutely unique among
mediation vendors and it has allowed the company to grow faster than the competition,"
said Karl Whitelock, director OSS BSS strategy at Stratecast.
"We are delighted to receive this prestigious award in recognition of the impact that
we are making on the industry. Our focus on technical innovation and go-to-market strategy
is the base for a global eco system of service providers, vendors and system integrators
that benefits not just DigitalRoute but customers and partners alike," said Jan Karlsson,
CEO at DigitalRoute.
Karlsson continued, "DigitalRoute will continue to grow as we expand into new areas
with maintained focus on mediation. Big Data, Policy and Usage Management, M2M
Connectivity Services and Service Assurance are just a handful of examples where our
technology will play an important role in the years to come."
