Openet, the global leader in the supply of real-time BSS (business support systems), today announced that NTT Advanced Technology (NTT-AT), a systems integrator and the core technical entity of the NTT Group will resell Openet's products and solutions to all subsidiary operators within the NTT Group. The deal will see Openet extending its reach into the NTT Group and significantly enhancing its commercial footprint across Asia.
According to Openet, NTT-AT chose to partner with Openet after successfully trialling a series of Policy and Control functions across NFV environments. Integrating solutions where NFV techniques are applied to OSS/BSS enables NTT Group to deliver on the promises of NFV, such as system agility, faster time to market, reduced TCO, increased elasticity, and greater service availability. Following the successful test, NTT-AT will look to roll Openet’s proven virtualised BSS technology out across the NTT Group, said Openet.

The level of support offered by Openet will afford us the ability to build increasingly agile systems to provide service diversity and faster time to market for NTT subsidiary operators.

We actively welcome new entrants to this program. We believe partnerships between specialist systems integrators like NTT-AT and Openet offer CSPs the best opportunity to build an agile BSS environment.
