(TeleManagement World Booth #75) NICE, FRANCE
— MAY 19, 2003 — Telcordia Technologies, Inc., the
world’s largest provider of network software, consulting and engineering
services to the telecommunications industry, today announced a teaming
agreement with Atreus Systems™, a service fulfillment leader for
Internet Protocol (IP) service and applications. The success of this partnership
means unprecedented value for service providers by helping manage their
IP networks, deliver services quickly, and cut operating expenses.
Together the companies will deliver integrated solutions that radically
accelerate and simplify service introduction and fulfillment, while improving
service assurance for carriers offering IP VPNs and other advanced IP
services. This rapid service introduction environment will be an integral
part of the Telcordia™ Managed IP Solutions.
"This relationship further demonstrates Telcordia’s commitment
to partnering with other ISVs and systems integrators. By teaming with
Atreus, we will offer the market’s only operations portfolio for
flexible and user customizable service introduction, fulfillment and assurance,"
said Chris Drake, Vice President, Managed IP Services Portfolio,
Telcordia.
"Telcordia’s expertise and leadership in operations support
systems will enable us to provide our customers with a complete Managed
IP solution," said Andrea Baptiste, President and CEO, Atreus
Systems. "Together, we provide a full suite of solutions
that will help carriers drive revenue and cut costs with the rapid introduction
and automated delivery of advanced IP services."
In today’s communications marketplace, the ability to rapidly deliver
advanced, IP-based service bundles requires managing complex processes
and devices throughout the network. By combining the expertise of Telcordia
and Atreus, we provide an operations environment for service introduction,
fulfillment and assurance using a service-centric approach to ensuring
quality of service.
The companies will provide a template-driven modeling environment used
to define and deploy services rapidly and to proactively monitor the services
and health of the network. The portfolio will include support for customer
self-service capabilities including ordering, SLA monitoring, and automated
service fulfillment for inventory, configuration, and activation.
Telcordia and Atreus can provide carriers with a service library for offering
differentiated, user customized service bundles, adding flexibility to
a carrier’s marketing strategy without costly infrastructure upgrades
