MetaSolv Software, a global leader in communications management solutions for traditional and next-generation services and networks, announced that BT Global Services, BT Group's international solutions and broadband business, has chosen MetaSolv as its preferred provisioning solution supplier for activation, inventory, and provisioning workflow. BT Global Services is deploying the MetaSolv solutions to enable fast, efficient delivery of all its service offerings throughout Europe.
The agreement with BT Global Services complements projects MetaSolv previously implemented at BT Wholesale for broadband and IP VPN provisioning in the UK. BT Global Services chose MetaSolv as its reference architecture to fulfill its complete provisioning requirements across all service domains.
"BT Global Services has selected MetaSolv's activation and inventory management solutions as part of the successful launching of its IP VPN service in Europe," said Mike Beurmann, Head of Network Management in BT Global Services' CIO team. "The success of the IP VPN service in the UK made MetaSolv a natural partner for progressing BT Global Services' business forward."
A key factor in BT Global Services' selection of MetaSolv was the integrated nature of the products, coupled with MetaSolv's workflow capability, which can support full provisioning requirements for both manual and automatic tasks. Seeing inventory management as key to successful provisioning, BT Global Services plans to standardize on MetaSolv's network resource management solution throughout their European network, replacing legacy systems.
The MetaSolv products comprise a comprehensive service fulfilment solution that enables BT Global Services to deliver services to customers in a constantly changing IP environment, quickly and with minimum configuration. With the enhanced service provisioning solution from MetaSolv, BT Global Services is well positioned to achieve its goals for delivering world-class services and support for its IP VPN products.
"We are pleased that BT Global Services, one of the world's leading providers of IP services, has chosen to extend its use of MetaSolv's provisioning capabilities to expand its IP VPN service offering across Europe," said Curtis Holmes, President and COO, MetaSolv. "MetaSolv is committed to continuing to work with BT to further cement our strategic relationship by providing service and support that enables BT to achieve its goals for delivering advanced services to end user customers."
