East African Operator Selects Evolving Systems for Centralized Number Management Solution
| Source: Evolving Systems
ENGLEWOOD, CO--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ : EVOL ), a
leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless,
wireline and cable carrier markets, today announced that a leading East
African telecommunications operator has selected the Company's
NumeriTrack® solution to provide a centralized number management system
for all its number inventory requirements.
The carrier currently handles number management across a multitude of
systems, including the customer relationship management (CRM) and billing
systems, pre and post paid network systems and other inventory systems,
each holding a different view of the data. This presented the carrier with
a number of issues, the most significant being that it could not see the
status of its entire number inventory in one place at any given time.
The carrier needed a centralized database that could provide a consolidated
view of its number inventory. After a competitive evaluation, the carrier
selected Evolving Systems' NumeriTrack solution to provide a cohesive,
unified view that would also act as a reconciliation engine between the
numerous systems.
"The carrier represents our latest win in Africa. Africa is a very strong
market for Evolving Systems. We now have customers in nine countries and we
continue to receive strong interest for our entire product suite -- service
activation, number management and dynamic SIM allocation," said Thad
Dupper, president and CEO of Evolving Systems. "We are very pleased with
the way our new products are selling this year -- to date we have closed
two new orders for our Dynamic SIM Allocation™ product and with this
order, two orders for our international NumeriTrack product. We are pleased
by the growing interest in our new products as carriers realize the
competitive edge and cost savings these products will provide."
