Now in its fourth year, the Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award is designed to honor innovative projects in six different categories involving telecoms operators and service providers around the world.
Sigma Systems was instrumental in ZON's service transformation project, allowing the Portugal-based operator to roll out triple- and quad-play service bundles. Sigma Systems' Service Management Platform ( http://www.sigma-systems.com/Home.aspx?PageID=29) enabled ZON to move its individual services out of silos and onto a single platform to fully automate order management, provisioning and activation. With Sigma Systems, ZON has been able to quickly introduce new services on the same platform, including cable and FTTH triple-play service bundles and a MVNO-based mobile offering for the quad-play bundling. Other services supported includes enabling WiFi hot-spots, and resale model support for both IPTV over DSL; and TV plus broadband over satellite.
ZON Multimedia and Sigma Systems completed an impressive service transformation project together and have enabled ZON to grow their subscriber base dramatically, said Preston Gilmer, vice president of Marketing at Sigma Systems. Service transformation continues to be a major focus for next-generation operators (http://www.sigma-systems.com/Home.aspx?PageID=300) around the world as they look to create innovative bundled offerings and offer new services as quickly as possible. Our Service Management Platform has proven to be a key tool in enabling this transformation, independent of services offered and whether they are running over fiber, copper or airwaves.
