    solutions to the telecom industry worldwide, today announced that it
    had been awarded a multi-million dollar contract by Celtel
    International, the leading pan-African mobile telecommunications
    company.

    Celtel International, a subsidiary of Zain (formerly called the
    MTC Group) serves over 30 million active customers across 14 countries
    in Africa. Connectiva´s award-winning revenue management product suite
    - ONEREViEW(TM) will be deployed across all 14 Celtel operations in
    Africa starting immediately. This is a significant customer win for
    Connectiva, which was chosen by Celtel over other suppliers. This

    Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan, Tunisia, and Egypt.

    Commenting on the occasion, Sam Deeb, Chief Financial Officer of

    was driven by the compelling business case associated with their
    solution. We also felt very comfortable with the capability of
    ONEREViEW(TM), which has been implemented successfully in other
    developing economies around the world. Connectiva´s track record of
    success and their ability to craft a solution around our specific
    needs played a big part in our decision to partner with them."

    to help them meet their aggressive corporate objectives," said Avi
    Basu, CEO of Connectiva Systems. "Progressive operators like Celtel
