Piscataway, NJ - February 25, 2008 - Telcordia, a global leader in the development of IP, wireline and mobile telecommunications software and services, today announced that it has been awarded the 2007 Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation of the Year for its Telcordia Service Management Suite and Telcordia Integrated Inventory solution. The award is presented annually to the company that has demonstrated excellence in new technology and product development above others within their respective industries. Frost & Sullivan's acknowledgement underscores Telcordia's innate ability to anticipate changing industry dynamics and respond with comprehensive solutions that help service providers worldwide, prepare and profit in an increasingly IP centric industry.
"Clearly, 2007 showed that the telecommunications market is among the most dynamic in the world, with its own unique set of challenges that require exacting but creative solutions that position operators for continued success in whatever technical or geographical market they compete," said Frost & Sullivan's Programme Manager, Luke Thomas. "These two Telcordia solutions illustrate the company's acknowledged ability to translate technical innovation and excellence into business agility, profitability and competitiveness for operators."
"In this new era of communications where service creation and delivery reigns supreme and ultimately impacts who wins and loses, Telcordia has once again delivered the most comprehensive solutions to help service providers around the world differentiate services, achieve higher profitability and dramatically improve the customer experience," said Michael Anderson, President, Global Solutions, Telcordia. "Frost & Sullivan's award is further acknowledgement of Telcordia's commitment to innovate and address the most complex challenges that service providers face in order to help them profit and grow."
Telcordia Integrated Inventory is the powerful combination of the market leading Telcordia® Granite Inventory and Telcordia® Network Engineer products, and 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.
Launched in February 2007, the Telcordia Service Management Suite is a comprehensive solution that brings together and analyzes disparate network and operational data to help operators maximize their customers' service experience. The suite includes Telcordia® Service Director, which provides deep insight into service quality, and Telcordia® Device Director, which analyses individual device and service performance.
