Vivo, a mobile telecom provider in Brazil, has upgraded to FraudView 8.2, ECtel’s latest fraud-management system.
The order was awarded to ECtel and long-term partner Bull, an integrator of open-source software in Europe, to supply Vivo with tools to obtain return on investment in its business-critical Information Systems (IS), allowing Vivo to operate with what the companies say are the highest security and efficiency levels.
By upgrading to FraudView version 8.2, ECtel says Vivo will benefit from superior multi-environment real-time detection tools for increased revenue protection and fraud prevention. The new localized version will also enable Vivo, for the first time, to operate the system in Portuguese.
Vivo is equally owned by Portugal Telecom and the Telefónica group and provides coverage to over 2,000 cities in Brazil. It is the only cellular company in the country that offers mobile communication services for both GSM and CDMA, as well as CDMA EVDO (Code Division Multiple Access Evolution-Data Optimized) third-generation services.
