Telcordia Technologies Inc. and Accenture, a management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, said on Monday they will work together to build operations support, network management and business support solutions for communications service providers.
The two companies will help telecommunications companies reduce operational costs as they bring new services to market.
The stakes are high and carriers cannot afford to take risks that could jeopardize their revenue stream, market share or future viability,” said Mike Henderson, president of global solutions for Telcordia. “Accenture brings a deep understanding of the strategies and future direction of communications service providers in the broadband world. Our complementary strengths and solutions can help carriers stay ahead of the changing telecommunications market and emerge stronger than before with a more robust, profitable business strategy.”
Under the applications outsourcing agreement, Accenture will support applications development for Telcordia’s product development. Accenture will join Telcordia’s product development board and the two companies will work together to design new product and service offerings for next-generation communications network operators. Accenture will deliver those services through its Global Delivery Network.
“Our alliance with Telcordia is in response to the transformational affects and changes that are occurring with migration to IP networks,” said Alberto Gandini, managing partner of global solutions for Accenture Communications & High Technology operating group.
