GLDS Named NCTC Approved Provider for Billing, Subscriber Management and Provisioning
CARLSBAD, CA, Feb 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Great Lakes Data Systems, Inc. (GLDS), the leading provider of
billing, subscriber management and provisioning systems for
small-to-medium global broadband providers, today announced that it
has been named an Approved Provider for billing, subscriber
management and provisioning by the National Cable Television
Cooperative (NCTC).
GLDS has also been invited to participate in the upcoming NCTC Winter
Education Conference, being held in Austin, TX, Feb. 20-21, 2012.
GLDS provides the industry's leading Windows(R) and Linux solutions
for operators ranging from 2,500 to more than 250,000 subscribers,
giving them complete billing and subscriber management with its
WinCable(R) platform and automated provisioning for video, voice and
data services with its SuperController(TM) solution.
"Many independent operator members have long enjoyed the services of
Great Lakes Data Systems and we are thrilled to once again establish
a relationship with GLDS for the benefit of all NCTC members," said
Doug Hull, NCTC Senior Director.
"Small operators face enormous technical, competitive and economic
challenges," according to GLDS' President Garrick Russell. "GLDS
offers triple play billing, provisioning and other 'tier one'
features -- at rates averaging 50 percent less than the large service
bureaus. We believe the NCTC offers tremendous value and is a
critical member of our industry, representing this country's nearly
1,000 small-to-medium cable operators. We're pleased to become part
of this distinguished organization as an Approved Provider and look
forward to helping NCTC's member operators launch competitive
services, cost-effectively and quickly."
GLDS was the first to enable smaller operators to cost-efficiently
bill and manage converged services including digital video, IPTV and
Internet, and has partnered with more than 22 different industry
voice vendors on more than 70 VoIP deployments to date. GLDS was also
the first to help monetize IP-based VOD/OTT services, a project first
revealed at the 2011 SCTE Cable-Tec Expo(R).
GLDS plans to demonstrate the company's new workforce management
platform WinForce tech(TM) at the upcoming NCTC Winter Education
Conference in GLDS' booth #2. A full-featured workforce automation
solution, WinForce tech gives small operators an affordable way to
move customer management data out to the field, reduce field work
calls and speed customer service.
"WinForce tech is a must-have tool that empowers techs with
visibility into the customer's account, let's them manage equipment
and service delivery, and gives them the ability to troubleshoot
installations and even close work orders from the field," Russell
said. "It gives operators complete control and monitoring of their
workforce and offers tier-one functionality, without the tier-one
price."
Solutions from GLDS include both stand-alone and cloud-based billing,
subscriber management and provisioning capabilities. GLDS team
members are seasoned cable professionals with a thorough
understanding of cable operations, data conversion and the latest,
most innovative industry technologies. GLDS is proud to serve more
than 130 NCTC member operators, along with hundreds of additional
operators worldwide.
