Dan,

The "holy grail" of customer care and billing solutions today is convergent billing. Saville Systems does not have that yet.

Consolidated billing is when you merge data from various legacy systems and produce a single bill. That is what MCI is doing as well as many others. Convergent billing is true integrated multi-service discounting, rating and billing. No one has that yet.

Saville's main product is a long distance billing solution. They have a contract with Frontier Corp. (FRO) to provide a convergent bill, but that in an "evolving system" (quote taken from a FRO employee.

Quite right about the growth in sales, though. They have a chance to ride a big wave, but can they pull it off?

Other company in this field is Kenan Technologies. Bad news - they are private. Good news - they may be going public soon.
