TORONTO--(Marketwire - July 21, 2010) - Sigma Systems, an industry leader in Advanced IP Service Fulfillment solutions, today announced that it will host EVOLVE 2010, its third-annual user conference for telecom and cable service providers, from November 15-17 at the PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The gathering of global operators, thought leaders and technology partners will provide an interactive forum to discuss how to evolve service offerings to meet the changing demands of subscribers, while driving down operational costs and improving efficiencies.
The theme for Sigma Systems' EVOLVE 2010 user conference is "Deliver What's Next." The theme reflects the services evolution that Next-Generation Operators are undergoing to remain competitive and to meet subscribers' demands by moving beyond basic offerings to deliver dynamic and personalized services. This evolution is resulting in the adoption of newer technologies, such as fiber to the home (FTTH) and DOCSIS 3.0, and new business models, such as online video and usage-based services, which offer additional back-office challenges.
EVOLVE 2010 will focus on how Next-gen Operators can deliver the next wave of advanced services, while also achieving faster times to market, improving operational efficiencies and realizing ROI sooner. The next wave of advanced services includes video over three screens, telco triple-play bundles, ultra-fast broadband, and addressable interactive advertising.
"Last year's user conference was quite successful in facilitating open communication among our telecom and cable customers and prospects on the services transformation taking place in operators' networks around the world," said Preston Gilmer, vice president of Marketing for Sigma Systems. "At EVOLVE 2010, Next-gen Operators will share strategies, case studies and insights about the next stage of services innovations occurring in the industry and how to effectively add these new offerings to their services portfolios using our Service Management Portfolio.
"Our portfolio includes Service Management Platform, Device Provisioning Manager, Active Mediation Platform and the Subscriber Information Service," Gilmer added.
EVOLVE 2010 attendees will participate in a variety of interactive general sessions and networking activities featuring service providers, industry thought leaders and technology partners. Customers will also participate in exclusive forums covering technology and operational strategies, Sigma's product roadmap and deployment how-to discussions.
The event will cover emerging technology and service trends and topics, such as:
-
DOCSIS 3.0 for IP convergence
-
The multi-screen experience
-
FTTH deployment best practices
-
IPv6 preparedness
-
Managing subscriber data
EVOLVE 2010 will also feature a Partner Pavilion with exhibitions by Sigma Systems' ecosystem of technology and equipment partners.
