• It has been at the forefront of efforts to implement number portability in the United States. Number porting was introduced in 1996 for wireline operators and 2003 for wireless operators, allowing flexibility to consumers to change their carrier while retaining their phone number. Evolving Systems' software for operators and the initial U.S. central clearinghouse NPAC has helped make these services a commercial reality.
• Through its Tertio™ service activation solution, Evolving Systems has helped support the wireless industry in the delivery of complex service bundles – encompassing voice, text, data, video, and other multimedia services.
• The company provides a robust number management solution for domestic and international markets with its NumeriTrack® solution. Today the largest wireless and cable company in the US has standardized on NumeriTrack for management of their number inventory.
• Over the past four years, Evolving Systems has focused on supporting emerging markets, where wireless networks have brought extensive social benefits, helping to raise quality of life. The company's footprint encompasses over ten customers in Africa, eight in Latin America, a strong service activation footprint in the Balkans and a growing presence in South-East Asia.
• The company's innovative Dynamic SIM Allocation™ (DSA) solution is enabling operators across the world to achieve significant cost savings by simplifying the SIM supply chain and optimizing network capacity.
• Today, DSA allows operators to more effectively manage the explosive growth of consumer and business-focused connected devices, from personal media players (PMPs) to MP3 players and e-readers, high-end digital cameras to smartphones and machine-to-machine (M2M) devices.

Looking to the Future
“Evolving Systems is as strong today as it has ever been,” Dupper continues. “Our product portfolio has never been healthier and we are looking to expand our already strong global footprint, especially in emerging markets where subscriber growth is high.”

“In 2009, despite the downturn, we introduced a pioneering new Dynamic SIM Allocation solution, improved our customer satisfaction ratings, grew revenue and profitability and eliminated our debt,” he adds.

“We are also continuing to grow our investment in R&D. In the first quarter of 2010, we achieved a 70% increase in R&D expenditure year over year. As a software company, we know that in order to stay at the cutting edge of technology and remain innovative, we need to be continually increasing these investment levels.”

“Ultimately though, the most critical factor in our success over the past 25 years has been the quality of our employees. Loyalty levels are high and attrition rates low,” concludes Dupper. “Going forward, we will continue to focus on satisfying our customers, creating rewarding careers for our employees and increasing shareholder value.”
