Spectra Group, one of the UK's top providers of radio and satellite communication services to government, defence, overseas aid and commercial clients worldwide, is the latest high profile user to select the ebillz billing and customer care system from Shaftesbury Systems.

The Spectra Group specialises in the design, delivery, implementation and ongoing support for a comprehensive range of radio and satellite communication services for use in areas where either none exist or where high intensity conflicts, natural disasters, pandemics or terrorist attacks may have destroyed existing networks.

The company has a reputation for delivering a high quality, professional service, often in hazardous and hostile environments where making an important phone call could mean the difference between life and death.

According to Yasin Qadir, Sales Manager at Shaftesbury: "Although the traditional telecom sector has been our core focus, the decision by the Spectra Group to install the ebillz billing and customer care system confirms the power and flexibility of the platform to meet the needs of a wide range of other market sectors."

This contract is the latest in a series of major wins for Shaftesbury which, over the last few months, have included Best Practice IFA Group, Opex Hosting and a leading provider of pushed mobile applications to the service sector.
