MALMO, Sweden, Oct. 17, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Teleca (Stockholm:TELCb) and Incatel have today announced that they are partnering to deliver turnkey Operational Support Systems (OSS) solutions to leading operators. The alliance brings together Incatel's proven carrier class network inventory and provisioning product, with Teleca's experience in integrating and delivering complete OSS solutions.
"Incatel's products offers an end-to-end network view that covers a variety of network technologies and telecommunication services," said Johan Strid, President of Teleca OSS. "In many cases, operators need an enhanced solution that will replace an existing legacy system and adapt to their existing OSS environment. Incatel's flexible solution, and our experience in system integration are particularly well suited to such situations."
Johan Strid added: "Operators derive benefits through more cost-effective administration of their existing and planned networks and the improved quality of their interaction with their customers. Among other joint projects, we are currently implementing a large-scale solution for Skanova, the largest network operator in Scandinavia."
"Teleca's OSS expertise extends beyond our focus of network inventory and provisioning, and therefore they are ideal partners for Incatel in delivering large-scale integrated solutions," concluded Arnhild Schia, Incatel's CEO.
Teleca OSS is one of Europe's leading suppliers of OSS solutions for operators and large companies. The company's assignments usually entail turnkey responsibility for a variety of functions ranging from systems architecture and implementation to support and maintenance of the systems.
"We guarantee that we offer cost-effective solutions characterized by high quality and short lead-times, thanks to our long-standing experience in the OSS segment combined with our close cooperation with market-leading product suppliers," said Johan Strid.
