MetaSolv's Leading Service Activation Solution Enables Orange to Reduce Costs
And Further Improve Customer Service
LONDON, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- MetaSolv Software, Inc., a global leader
in communications management solutions for next-generation and traditional
networks and services, today announced that one of Europe's leading operator
groups, Orange, has selected MetaSolv's IP service activation solution to
deliver and manage MPLS-based IP VPNs with Quality of Service (QoS) in the
Slovak Republic. With the deployment of the MetaSolv service activation
solution, Orange Slovensko has significantly enhanced its overall efficiency
in delivering complex IP-based services to retail network and corporate
customers.
"The MetaSolv service activation solution has enabled us to migrate from
an inefficient manual process, and to re-engineer the relevant business
processes to improve the service we offer to our customers," said Dana
Prekopova, technical director, Orange Slovensko. "It now takes a matter of
minutes rather than days to activate a VPN site, helping reduce operational
costs, and allowing us to quickly and profitably deliver services to our
customer base."
MetaSolv's IP service activation solution enables service providers to
profitably launch and deliver value-added services such as IP VPNs by
eliminating time-consuming, error-prone manual tasks, and by providing a
consistent end-to-end view of the network and services. Streamlining and
automating the service activation process enables operators to provide
enhanced service quality and an improved customer experience. In addition,
MetaSolv's integrated QoS capabilities enable operators to segregate and tag
IP traffic over the network, enabling efficient, prioritized use of IP network
resources.
The IP service activation solution chosen by Orange Slovensko is a key
component of MetaSolv's broad, advanced service activation capabilities, which
currently are deployed at more than 60 leading, global wireline and mobile
service providers. With proven success in rigorous multi-vendor, multi-
service environments, and out-of-the-box support for major network
infrastructure providers, MetaSolv is the industry leader in service
activation operations support system (OSS) solutions.
"The ability to quickly configure the series of tasks necessary for
activating IP VPN services is critical to an operator's ability to drive
revenues from these service offerings. MetaSolv's service activation
solutions are helping operators such as Orange Slovensko achieve business
results in meeting increased demand for IP-based services, while providing
improved customer service," said Anthony Finbow, EMEA managing director,
MetaSolv Software.
