Slovak Republic's largest service provider will use Amdocs to migrate to IP-based services
ST. LOUIS and BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs (NYSE:DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems, and Slovak Telekom, today announced that Slovak Telekom will upgrade and expand its usage of Amdocs OSS (operations support systems). Slovak Telekom will deploy a variety of products from Amdocs' OSS portfolio to manage service fulfillment for its Internet-Protocol (IP)-based services, such as broadband, and as a platform for its next generation OSS. In addition, Amdocs has been selected as the prime contractor for project delivery.
Slovak Telekom is a longstanding Amdocs OSS customer and will upgrade to the Amdocs Cramer6 OSS Suite to take advantage of new features as it modernizes its OSS architecture. In addition, Slovak Telekom will expand its usage of Amdocs OSS with the purchase of Discovery Engine, a key product within the suite. This will enable Slovak Telekom to improve its network discovery processes, which is the ability to identify equipment and resources actually deployed in the network. With more accurate network inventory and data integrity, Slovak Telekom can improve its network capacity management, fulfillment and assurance processes. As a result, Slovak Telekom can reduce capital expenditure, reduce time to market for new services, and improve customer satisfaction through faster response to network outages.
"Slovak Telekom has decided to modernize its service and network inventory management system as a fundamental step towards the inevitable OSS transformation to a service-oriented architecture, a next generation OSS program known as NGOSS," said Stanislav Pavlovic, director of IT Division/System Integration Unit at Slovak. "By adding new products such as Service Catalog and Delivery Engine, this upgrade gives us access to further off the shelf software, which will help us to simplify integration, reduce our total cost of ownership and increase automation. The integration of Amdocs Discovery Engine with network resource management will enable us to significantly improve data accuracy. As a result, we believe we have more configurable and agile OSS environment."
