cVidya muscles into Subex territory

By Eric Priezkalns 8 Jun 2007

There has been a lot of announcements recently, but the most intriguing is that BT has opted to buy cVidya’s MoneyMap revenue assurance tools. Those with long memories may recall that Azure was spun out of BT. Azure’s attraction for investors, and ultimately for Subex, relied heavily upon the ongoing revenues Azure earned from BT. Those revenues may not be impacted by the cVidya deal, but it is still quite a coup for the Israeli business to secure a big prestige contract with a telco so closely associated with a big rival. Over at SubexAzure, they will have to console themselves with their contract win at the Bahamas Telecommunications Company.
