Swisscom, NEC and NetCracker Celebrate Successful Transformation of Operational Support Systems for Swisscom's All IP Program
NEC Corporation and NetCracker (News - Alert) Technology have announced that Swisscom
AG has successfully completed building the ICT capabilities needed to
migrate its major business lines, including fixed, mobile, TV and
broadband, to the NetCracker Service Fulfillment solution as part of
Swisscom's (News - Alert) 'All IP Transformation' program. This will enable Swisscom to
utilize always-on provisioning capabilities and accelerate
time-to-market for new services.
Further, Swisscom will discuss with NEC (News - Alert) and NetCracker how to address
the unique challenges associated with transforming Swisscom's OSS
environment to a hybrid virtual-physical model. Through in-depth
workshops at NEC headquarters in Tokyo, Swisscom, NEC and NetCracker
will work together on establishing future migration plans to a
cloud-based architecture.
Swisscom is Switzerland's leading telecommunications service provider,
offering customers throughout the country a full range of sophisticated
products and services, including fixed-line and mobile telephony and
Internet services, as well as digital television, IT and networking
solutions.
"Our focus for the future is on developing the cloud-based services and
applications that will drive the next phase of our growth," said Heinz
Herren, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Officer at
Swisscom. "NetCracker has supported many of our next-generation
initiatives, such as helping us create a unified OSS for our 'All-IP'
program. With trusted business partners like NEC and NetCracker, we are
creating an optimal environment for evaluating the critical technologies
necessary to transform our business."
As part of Swisscom's next-generation architecture transformation
initiative, the three companies would like to continue cooperating on
many of the critical technology areas that are necessary for the
Swisscom business:
-
Next-generation business and operational support systems (BSS/OSS)
-
Management and orchestration (MANO) of highly automated hybrid service
environments
-
Network analysis and visualization capabilities
"As longstanding strategic networking and IT solution partners for
Swisscom, NEC and NetCracker look forward to helping Swisscom achieve
its transformation goals," said Frank DeTraglia, Chief Customer Officer
at NetCracker. "With an end-to-end portfolio of BSS/OSS and network
virtualization solutions, NEC and NetCracker are excited to begin
discussions with Swisscom about future collaboration plans for
designing, testing and operationalizing cutting-edge OSS services."
"We believe one of Swisscom's key strengths is its innovation in
bringing new services to market, which will serve them well as they take
advantage of 'All-IP' and cloud-based business opportunities," said
Shunichiro Tejima, Executive Vice President at NEC Corporation. "NEC,
together with NetCracker, will offer the technologies and professional
services required to transform Swisscom's business."
