T-Mobile Netherlands has selected the Netherlands arm of Capgemini, to migrate its legacy billing platform to a new LHS model.

The system migration forms part of a strategic merger program between T-Mobile Netherlands BV and Orange Nederland NV and is designed to provide greater flexibility whilst reducing the company’s total cost of ownership.

Capgemini will be responsible for the integration and migration of the legacy system to the new platform. The project will be delivered cooperatively onsite in the Netherlands, in Paris and offshore in India. LHS, a long term partner of Capgemini, will provide the required customization and the necessary professional services to support this implementation as a subcontractor to Capgemini.

Gerrit Dekker, Executive Vice-President Information Technology at T-Mobile Netherlands BV, said: “This is a multi-faceted project, with great impact on our organization; billing is, after all, one of telecom operators’ core processes. Because of this, transparency and mutual trust between the parties is, to us, paramount.”
