Comverse Inaugurates New APAC Center of Excellence in India

Ramping Up Innovation, R&D and Operational Capabilities to Boost Success of Service Providers and Enterprises in the Digital Economy


WAKEFIELD, Mass., July 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comverse (Nasdaq:CNSI), a global leader in digital services and monetization solutions, announced the inauguration of its new state-of-the-art Comverse Center of Excellence (CCoE) in Gurgaon, India.

The advanced CCoE facility is home to a team of highly talented experienced professionals committed to developing and enhancing world-class products and services that deliver more value to service providers and enterprises – particularly in APAC, the largest and fastest-growing communications market.

The CCoE expands and upgrades a dynamic Comverse presence spanning nearly two decades in India. Comverse leadership in the region has been independently validated: Comverse secured top honors as the largest BSS vendor in India – enhancing the quality of service and customer experience of many of the more than a billion residents in the world's most populous country.

The inauguration ceremony at the new facility took place yesterday, July 22, with key industry and media figures in attendance. The keynote address focused on the success of Comverse customers throughout the region, and outlined the vision and strategic mission of the dynamic research environment in key areas such as virtualization, cloud/SaaS services, the digital lifestyle experience, enterprise communications, agile enterprise billing, new business models, and managed services.

In line with Comverse's growth strategy and conviction that a global company serves its customers best by being close to them, the India CCoE complements similar Comverse facilities in other regions, such as the recently announced EMEA Comverse Center of Excellence in Bulgaria. The CCoE in India will play a key role in development of cutting-edge technology empowering service providers and enterprises to expand business models, boost revenues, cut costs and provide a differentiating customer experience.

"The new India CCoE exemplifies the focus on innovation and excellence that keeps Comverse at the core of the evolution of how the world communicates, exchanges information and monetizes the digital economy," said Balaji Iyer, Vice President of Systems & Solutions at Comverse. "Responsive to the evolving needs of telecoms and other digital business customers facing disruptive global changes, we are tapping into the vast talent pool here to develop and deliver best-in-class digital lifestyle solutions that address customer opportunities and expand success."
