PR Newswire (US)
HACKENSACK, New Jersey, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:NSTC), a global provider of IT services
and solutions, today announced that it has won a multi-million
dollar contract to implement an Order Management and Fulfillment
(OMF) project with Bezeq, Israel's national telecommunications
provider. The Technologies and Systems Group (TSG) of Ness
Technologies will implement the OMF solution. The first phase of
the OMF project, as part of Bezeq's strategy for its Next
Generation Networking program, will support order management and
fulfillment for IP-related services such as VoIP, IP VPN, IP
Centrex - as well as for ADSL products and services. A second
(optional) phase of the project is planned to complete the
replacement of existing legacy systems, supporting the rest of
Bezeq's telephony services such as SDH, Ethernet and others. Ness
won the bid over Amdocs, NetCracker, Hewlett Packard, and TCS based
on its successful implementations of similar systems for other
customers in Israel and worldwide. "The OMF system is a central
component in Bezeq's Next Generation Networking program and our
ability to provide advanced, efficient, reliable and high quality
services," said Eli Frank, Bezeq's CIO. "The OMF system will enable
integrated management of our network elements and our service
provision process, from order receipt all the way to service
activation over the network, thus shortening the time needed to
provide services to our customers and the time needed to define and
launch new services at Bezeq." "In this challenging time, service
providers are facing the need to save expenses and reduce
investments on network equipment, while maintaining high customer
service levels," said Michael Zinderman, president, Ness TSG. "The
new solution will enable Bezeq to streamline and improve the
customer service provisioning process while optimally utilizing
network resources. Bezeq's decision to award this important
contract to Ness is an expression of confidence in TSG's extensive
knowledge and experience in developing and implementing management
systems and Operational Support Systems (OSS). Such knowledge and
experience are key to success of such complex projects." Ness' OMF
solution will be based on three software products from Telcordia
that will enable Order Management and Fulfillment across its
network: Telcordia(R) Expediter, Telcordia(R) Granite Inventory and
Telcordia(R) Customer Number Manager. Expediter delivers
customizable and scalable order management; Granite Inventory is an
inventory management and provisioning product; and Customer Number
Manager ("CNUM"), is a centralized database which manages telephone
numbers. About Ness Technologies Ness Technologies (NASDAQ:NSTC) is
