It is reported that Bharti Airtel is likely to award a multi-year revenue management contract to Connectiva Systems. The contract would be for Bharti?s African operations, spanning 16 countries.

If inked, Connectiva Systems will deliver a mix of fraud control, revenue assurance and customer experience management solutions to Bharti. The company will also work closely with IBM, which recently inked a $1.5-billion outsourcing deal to manage Bharti Airtel?s IT requirements in Africa.

Commenting on this, Avi Basu, founder, Connectiva Systems said, ?Connectiva Systems is in advanced talks with Bharti Airtel. Since we have an existing relationship with Zain, we have a broad understanding of their worldwide telecom networks. We are also looking forward to work closely with IBM, which is one of our existing strategic partners.?
