Allstream Selects NetCracker as Key Partner in BSS Transformation Program

 NetCracker Technology announced today that Allstream has selected NetCracker to be a key partner in its BSS transformation program designed to cost effectively modernize business-critical applications, add flexibility and speed to operations, and enhance the customer experience.

Serving business customers across Canada, Allstream is a division of MTS Allstream and an industry leader in emerging areas of IP network convergence and unified communications. The company’s main products are IP-based communications, unified communications, voice and data connectivity, and security services for businesses. In addition, Allstream operates an extensive broadband fiber optic network that spans more than 30,000 kilometers across Canada.

During the first phase of the program, NetCracker will deploy its BSS solution, which will allow Allstream to price offerings, packages, and bundles more rapidly and improve the quotation process for customers and prospects.

“We are pleased to be moving forward with this program, which will help us streamline our processes and improve the customer experience in a cost-effective way,” said Gary Davenport, Allstream’s Vice President, IT. “Given NetCracker’s outstanding reputation for solution delivery and its advanced BSS capabilities, they were the logical choice to be our partner for the first phase of this project.”

“Allstream is breaking ground with its next-gen products and creating a higher level of responsiveness to customer needs,” said Andrew Feinberg, President and CEO of NetCracker Technology. “They serve a very demanding set of business customers, and NetCracker’s end-to-end BSS solution will enable more rapid and flexible delivery of complex IP-based services, reduced time to market for new offerings, and — ultimately — improved customer experience.”
