Solutions to Latin America
Companies join forces to provide market-leading solutions to telecom operators in growing region
ENGLEWOOD, Colorado Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-EVOL), a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and IP carrier market, and American Telecommunications, Inc. (ATI), a solutions provider of advanced telecommunications systems and services, today announced their agreement to pursue new business in the Latin America market.
The companies have entered into an agreement to bring Evolving Systems' market-leading service activation and number management solutions to telecommunications operators in Latin America. Under the agreement, ATI will market and support Evolving Systems' solutions through its extensive network of in-country affiliates throughout Latin America. Evolving Systems will provide ATI with the technology and expertise to bring end-to-end solutions to customers in the region.
"After a careful evaluation of technology and industry experience, we selected Evolving Systems as our vendor partner for service activation and number management projects in our region," said Luis Alberto Nuez, ATI's CEO. "We feel that Evolving Systems provides the right combination of value and functionality that operators in Latin America are demanding, and we are very pleased to be working with an industry leader in areas that our customers consider mission critical" added Nuez.
"We look forward to working with ATI in Latin America," said Stephen Gartside, Evolving Systems' President and CEO. "ATI's comprehensive regional footprint and impressive track record of system integrations in the region will help us provide our solutions to a broad range of customers, quickly and effectively."
Evolving Systems' Tertio™ service activation solution enables operators to replace legacy and custom built service activation solutions with a solution that can be cheaper and easier to operate. The solution helps operators manage growth by reducing the time to activate services, decreasing the number of errors, and lowering the cost of operations. The Tertio solution, which supports Linux as well as various commercial UNIX products, offers operators a cost-effective and scalable choice of hardware architectures. It also provides graphical tools to enable rapid service modeling, service assembly and service integration to speed up service rollout and make it simpler for carriers to use their own staff to maintain and enhance the system.
Evolving Systems' NumeriTrack number management solution enables operators to store, assign, track and manage their telephone numbers for all services. It helps to improve customer service by providing a centralized, high performance system with instant access to accurate numbering. The NumeriTrack solution also helps to lower operational cost and effort by automating manual processes and integrating seamlessly with other OSS processes such as billing, activation and number portability. The solution provides extensive capabilities for forecasting, tracking and reporting number utilization to enable operators to manage their numbers proactively and meet any regulatory requirements.
