"We are honored to receive this mark of recognition for our unique and innovative revenue assurance solutions and contributions to the industry," said Mr. Itzik Weinstein, President and CEO of ECtel.

The World BSS Awards, launched in 1997, help raise awareness of the significance of billing and information management systems and processes to the communications industry, identifying key trends and rewarding BSS best practice.
