Amdocs Delivers Software to Simplify Network Operations and Enable Service Providers to Roll-Out New Applications and Services Faster with Cisco
Tuesday 20. May 2008 - Data Integrity Management solution aligns with Cisco software to improve automation, lower costs, and helps manage network resources
Amdocs (NYSE:DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems, today announced the delivery of a pre-integrated Data Integrity Management solution combined with the Cisco Active Network Abstraction (ANA). The solution allows service providers to deliver on the promise of NGN technologies – simplification, automation, rapid service delivery, and a superior end user experience.
The solution integrates the Operations Support System (OSS) with network and element management to streamline the planning, service fulfillment and assurance processes by automatically providing the OSS with a complete and accurate view of the live network. In doing so, the solution allows service providers to roll out new applications and services such as broadband, Carrier Ethernet, MPLS (multi-protocol label switching), VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and IPTV (Internet Protocol television) considerably faster, at lower cost and with much reduced error rates.
This pre-integrated solution combines the Amdocs OSS Suite with the Cisco Active Network Abstraction to provide a multi-vendor, multi-technology discovery and reconciliation capabilities. This approach lowers operational and capital expenditure costs and helps service providers ensure a high quality experience for end users.
“The race continues for service providers to bring new services to market quickly and with precision and accuracy,” said Charles Born, vice president of corporate communications at Amdocs. “Service providers can’t afford to be hindered with poor data, flawed network discovery or reconciliation processes, and Amdocs and Cisco are committed to improving these processes.”
“Customers are demanding that vendors work together to help them address their service rollout and their cost of operation,” said Bill Ahlstrom, vice president of Cisco’s Network Management Technology Group. “Cisco’s ability to provide network element management combined with Amdocs’ ability to deliver best-in-class data integrity is a solid example of our strategy of collaborating between leaders to build unique value for our service provider customers.”
The Amdocs OSS Data Integrity Management solution will be demonstrated at Management World.
