Equipment Vendors

Equipment vendors that provide Next Generation OSS & Management systems supporting rapid delivery of rich services in compressed timeframes with greater efficiency achieve a significant differentiation over competitor and move up the customer value chain.

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are looking for vendors to help them remove the barriers to achieving rapid service delivery. Traditional vendor management systems were designed to deliver a relatively static set of services and involved lengthy release cycles, making them unsuitable to cope with the fast pace of change CSPs now face.

CSPs need to adopt new technologies quickly as they come on stream, integrating them into their service delivery eco system without lengthy & costly integration projects. To achieve this they need vendors to adopt a fresh approach to delivery and evolution of their management solutions.

We are experts in B-OSS and Management System development with a deep understanding of Communication Service Provider requirements. We have the know-how, platforms and experience to analyse, design and build Carrier Class Management Systems that complete an Equipment Provider's end-to-end solution. We understand the importance of dynamic next generation management solutions as an enabler for equipment sales.
