Global Tier 1 Wireless Carrier Selects Evolving Systems for Multi-Country Service Activation Rollout
Agreement Covers Seven Deployments in Emerging Markets Across Central America, South America and Africa
| Source: EVOLVING SYSTEMS
ENGLEWOOD, CO--(Marketwire - January 22, 2008) - Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ : EVOL ), a
leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless,
wireline and IP carrier market, today announced that its Tertio™ Service
Activation solution has been selected by a global tier 1 telecommunications
group with wireless operations in Asia, Latin America and Africa, for
deployment in seven countries.
The carrier selected Evolving Systems' Tertio solution after a thorough
evaluation of the leading service activation solutions available in the
industry. The main driver for the decision was the need for a proven
solution that could easily and cost-effectively provision each operator's
service offerings including IP and 3G services across a
multi-vendor,
multi-technology network infrastructure.
Under the agreements, Tertio implementations will be phased according to a
schedule of accelerated deployments in Latin America and Africa that will
run in parallel. Evolving Systems' professional services group will be
responsible for the end-to-end delivery and support of the implementations.
Once in production, Tertio will provide a single convergent service
activation platform to enable the provisioning of advanced services,
including prepaid and post-paid voice, voice-mail, MMS and other advanced
services, on the carrier's GSM networks.
"Evolving Systems is pleased to have been selected as the sole vendor for
this multi-country, multi-region project," said Thad Dupper, president and
CEO of Evolving Systems. "This global carrier is experiencing tremendous
growth and wanted a partner who could keep pace with them in the Asian,
Latin American and African wireless markets. We are confident Evolving
Systems' service activation solution and services will meet their needs
today as well as in the future."
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.
