NetCracker to Address OSS Strategies for Managing Subscriber Growth at TM Forum's Management World China 2007

NetCracker Explains How to Increase Average Profit per User and Merge the Power of Network and IT

WALTHAM, MA – August 27, 2007 – NetCracker Technology, the leading provider of fulfillment solutions for converged services, announced today that Sanjay Mewada, the company's Vice President of Strategy, will be a featured speaker at the TM Forum's Management World China 2007 event taking place at the Sheraton Great Wall Beijing on September 3–4, 2007. Mr. Mewada will present a session titled "Ensuring Profitability through OSS in Times of Runaway Growth" in the Managing Subscriber Growth track on Tuesday, September 4, 2007, from 9–10 am.

NetCracker's presentation will explain how mobile and fixed operators can profitably and rapidly implement mission-critical Operations Support System (OSS) solutions to scale to large numbers of subscribers. These solutions have an immediate and substantial impact on the bottom line by increasing revenues and reducing costs. Revenues are increased through faster time to market for new services and reduced churn, while savings are achieved through operational efficiencies and enterprise-wide system consolidation.

"In today's demanding market with its relentless focus on the bottom line, a key Service Provider challenge is to ensure that revenue growth from new subscribers translates into increased profit and margins," said Mewada. "The traditional measure of success—Average Revenue per User—is not enough. Average Profit per User is what drives business success."

Mr. Mewada will also address the critical importance of using a single platform to create, deliver, and manage converged services that utilize both Network and IT infrastructures.

During the session, NetCracker will highlight a case study that demonstrates best practices for increasing the average profit per user. Examples will illustrate how to architect and deploy the OSS to ensure the scalability needed in a high growth subscriber environment.
