BT and Optiva partnership leverages convergent, best-in-suite
platform to flexibly create service applications and simplify
deployment
TORONTO, March 7,
2023 /CNW/ - BT, the UK's leading fixed and mobile
telecommunications provider, selected Optiva to renew its
next-generation intelligent network (NGIN) service delivery
platform (SDP) solution and support services.
The NGIN-SDP platform empowers BT to create any service
application flexibly. BT developers rely on Optiva's application
platform for its scalability and proven stability with virtually
zero change requests or outages throughout the partnership. The
renewal offers BT a continuous evolution of the platform
application server to add additional services and gain market
share.
Optiva's platform allows service brokering and orchestration
capabilities to easily embed new accesses and logics, helping
evolve new products and consolidate legacy services. Optiva's
roadmap in the space of 5G evolution and Open APIs may assist BT
with their strategic network evolution and future products.
Optiva's platform allows BT to achieve its goal of staying ahead of
the market in terms of service evolution while efficiently managing
the service lifecycle.
"We value BT's trust and our 8-year partnership. We look forward
to continuing to innovate together and supporting BT's goals to
capture new market opportunities and expand their business success
and capabilities," said John Giere,
President and CEO of Optiva.
