- Indonesian Convergent Operator Selects Evolving Systems and Accenture for Next
Generation Solutions
ENGLEWOOD, Colorado Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-EVOL), a leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and IP carrier market and regional partner Accenture Pte Ltd, today announced that it has been selected by a convergent telecoms operator in Indonesia to provide next generation service activation solutions.
The Company made the strategic decision to consolidate and streamline its OSS infrastructure in order to support its aggressive growth strategy. As part of a wider project to replace the CRM system, it also decided to replace the service activation system. It was becoming increasingly difficult to launch new services quickly and cost-effectively as well as support the rapidly increasing number of subscribers.
After a competitive evaluation, Evolving Systems Tertio™ Service Activation solution was selected for its off-the-shelf packaged capability and its ability to scale and support the operator's subscriber growth plans. Evolving Systems will provide the core solution technology, as well as related technical and agent development services. Accenture will develop custom functionality, service logic, configuration of business rules and provide dedicated in-country support.
"Accenture and Evolving Systems were selected for our best of breed solution as well as our experience integrating the Tertio solution with the chosen CRM system" said Ho Seong Kim, Senior Executive of Accenture Singapore. "Evolving Systems Tertio solution forms part of the Accenture Communications Solutions (ACS) suite that is based on clean, simple concepts and common sense process modeling. Together we bring a wide range of packaged components to achieve rapid installation and configuration times, strongly reducing the time to market and providing a scaleable solution across businesses with a plug-in, plug-out approach," he added.
"Evolving Systems has been part of the ACS suite and Accenture's partner since 2003," said Thad Dupper, President and CEO of Evolving Systems. The Indonesian telecommunications market has experienced massive changes, with the creation of an independent regulator, the development of partial privatization and the introduction of competition. This win not only represents the continued success of our relationship with Accenture but also demonstrates the importance of our Asia Pacific office to support our growth in emerging markets," he added.
