tekVizion Unveils FastForward>> Practice Areas to
Address Unique Systems Integration Challenges for Service Providers
Comprehensive Suite of Services Address Legacy IN Migration, VoIP
Roll-Outs, Service Delivery Solutions and Custom Integrated Services
Richardson, TX (Oct. 11, 2004) – tekVizion™
PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integrators, announced
today the first ever launch of a suite of systems integration
practice areas designed specifically to address the unique challenges
faced by service providers deploying converged services.
tekVizion’s FastForward>> suite of
services address the challenges that arise from the evolution
away from proprietary, single-vendor telecom products to multi-vendor,
standards-based solutions that enable the economic and technical
benefits provided by truly integrated, converged services. These
practice areas solve technical issues, which, outside the scope
and capabilities of traditional systems integrators, represent
a major hurdle that has significantly inhibited the telecom industry
over the past several years.
With unparalleled hands-on experience on a vast array of legacy
and next-generation products and services, extensive interoperability
and integration expertise, tekVizion is uniquely qualified to
address these challenges.
The FastForward>>
practice areas are briefly described below, with additional
information available on the company’s website (www.tekVizion.com).
The FastForward>>IN
EvolutionSM practice is for service providers migrating
to new systems or searching for ways to augment legacy IN systems
with IP-based technologies. tekVizion provides these service providers
with service creation, custom development, and support services.
The FastForward>>Packet
VoiceSM practice is for service providers seeking
to offer Class 4, Class 5, or hosted IP Centrex/PBX services based
on packet-voice technologies. tekVizion’s services include
network designs, dial plans, customized end-user and operator
portals, end-point and network interoperability testing, installation,
and both back-office and network integration. tekVizion also provides
ongoing application support including monitoring and preventative
maintenance.
The FastForward>>Service
DeliverySM practice is for service providers seeking
to deploy, and/or integrate open, standards-based service delivery
platforms (SDPs) designed to streamline the creation, delivery
and management of new services. The deployment and integration
of SDPs is a complex undertaking that requires a unique understanding
of how to broker the interaction between disparate applications
or application platforms, back-office components, and network
elements. tekVizion leverages this expertise to design and develop
solution architectures, custom network and IT integration adapters,
and provide testing services to achieve powerful, cohesive service
delivery environments.
The FastForward>>Integrated
ServicesSM practice is for service providers seeking
to realize new revenue streams through the deployment of innovative,
multimedia communication services. tekVizion provides design,
development and support of custom enhanced services using any
combination of service delivery platforms, custom software, legacy
IN assets, IP-based feature servers, and IT resources.
“The transition to next-generation networks can be overwhelming
for carriers,” said Deb Mielke, principal of Treillage Network
Strategies, Inc. “I applaud tekVizion for recognizing and
defining a logical progression to take carriers through the entire
journey while helping them avert costly rebuilds and maximize
their network infrastructure investments.”
“Any type of systems integration that touches a core telecom
network requires a deep understanding of call processing, signaling,
and service interaction,” said Leland Phillips, tekVizion’s
CEO. “Replacing or merging legacy technologies with new
ones does not change or eliminate those fundamental requirements,
but rather makes them harder to achieve. tekVizion has spent years
building a deep knowledge base of interoperability and integration
expertise that gives us the rare ability to understand the intricacies
of multi-vendor, multi-protocol telecom networks. Our FastForward>>
services combine this focused expertise with proven methodologies
to help service providers in any stage of the convergence evolution.”
