NEC/Netcracker Wins 2017 Global Telecoms Award for OSS Innovation

NEC Corporation and Netcracker Technology announced today that NEC/Netcracker's Hybrid Operations Management (HOM) solution received the 2017 Global Telecoms Award for "OSS Innovation." NEC/Netcracker's HOM was selected for its ability to simplify the transition from physical to virtualized networks and enable the fast introduction of innovative new services across a multivendor environment.

The Global Telecoms Awards (GLOTELS) recognize innovation and excellence in the global telecom business space. They are presented by Telecoms.com.

NEC/Netcracker's HOM simplifies the transition to an SDN/NFV-based operations environment by bringing together the operational and control elements that cross both physical and virtual domains onto a single platform. Without disrupting existing OSS or BSS, the solution helps businesses achieve their transformation goals faster, more efficiently and with less risk.

"Hybrid network and operations management becomes increasingly important as service providers transition to virtualization while co-existing with physical infrastructure," said Sanjay Mewada, Chief Strategy Officer at Netcracker. "Our Hybrid Operations Management solution gives customers the ability to accelerate their migration to virtualization without jeopardizing mission-critical services tied to traditional networks. We are glad to be recognized in our efforts to enable these hybrid environments, and we look forward to delivering these capabilities to even more businesses as digitalization and virtualization takes greater hold."
