Telcordia Integrated Inventory Wins IEC InfoVision Award
Berlin, Germany, and Piscataway, NJ, October 10, 2007 - Telcordia announced today that Telcordia Integrated Inventory, the powerful combination of its market leading Telcordia® Granite Inventory and Telcordia® Network Engineer solutions, has been named the 2008 InfoVision Awards winner in the Network and Services Management and Operations category. The award, presented by the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) at Broadband World Forum, recognizes technologies, applications, products, advances, and services judged to be the most unique and beneficial to the telecommunications industry and consumers globally.
"Telcordia Integrated Inventory offers a strategic advantage to operators worldwide," said Michael Anderson, President, Global Solutions, Telcordia. "Telcordia has long held the view that the industry needs an approach that goes way beyond point solutions and offers a more comprehensive approach that helps them understand their network, manage it effectively, but most importantly, prepare it for the dynamic demands of IP and subscriber service demands. Operators need a strategic partner to help guide their network evolution and we believe this view has been validated with this industry acknowledgement."
Telcordia Integrated Inventory combines detailed, real-time logical and physical inventory data to provide a single, federated view that is necessary for operators to make rapid and far reaching business decisions on how to use their network to deliver new services. In a world where operators must meet subscriber demand to offer IP-based services quickly, efficiently and effectively, Telcordia enables them to make instant decisions based on complex business rules. By streamlining and automating multiple business processes into a single, coherent process to ensure that the network is fully utilized, services are delivered rapidly and the underlying network architecture is optimized for delivering those services. As a result, operators realize faster order cycle times, less rework, fewer truck rolls, and increased customer satisfaction by fulfilling the orders correctly the first time, every time, leading to increased profitability.
"We'd like to congratulate Telcordia for its Integrated Inventory that was chosen for this highly-competitive, prestigious InfoVision Award," commented IEC Vice President of Conference Development Tom Costello. "I'm sure these innovative products and services will have a long-lasting positive impact on the industry and we look forward to customers enjoying the benefits of these innovations."
Winning this industry award is further validation of Telcordia's innovative approach. The winners were selected by a panel of judges chosen from the Broadband World Forum Europe 2007 Technical Program Committee. Entries were judged on value of service, overall quality of innovation and contribution to technology advancement, originality and vision, contribution towards positive industry growth and service, market success and contribution to end-user quality-of-experience and service efficiency.
