360networks Partners with Synchronoss for its ActivationNow® Automated Workflow and Order Management
February 7, 2006
Bridgewater, New Jersey (February 7, 2006) – Today, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., the leader in intelligent workflow automation, announced that 360networks selected its ActivationNow® Technology Platform to manage multiple business processes over 360networks' broadband fiber-optic network. As a growing wholesale provider of private line, Internet Protocol (IP) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, 360networks spans 16,000 route miles and reaches more than 39 major markets. The agreement with Synchronoss further signifies that ActivationNow provides the most robust automated workflow management solution in the communication service provider (CSP) marketplace.
Under the terms of the agreement, Synchronoss provides comprehensive support for numerous 360networks business processes including number activations, calling name database (CNAM) and line information database (LIDB) updates, directory listings, E911, and directory assistance, as well as VoIP local number portability (LNP). ActivationNow virtually eliminates manual intervention for LNP fallout and Synchronoss backs up its services with performance-based service level agreements, a key differentiator compared to the competition.
“360networks reviewed any number of LNP order management providers to support our SIP-based wholesale VoIP deployment, but we selected Synchronoss because their ActivationNow solution was the most complete and flexible,” said Rick Coma, Senior Vice President at 360networks. “Moreover, Synchronoss possesses the deep domain experience and key relationships with third party vendors in the industry, which minimizes the number of outsourcing partners we need to manage. Synchronoss offers an end-to-end management solution for LNP with resources that can be leveraged whenever 360networks needs to launch new services to our customers.”
“We are enthusiastic about partnering with 360networks, which owns and operates one of the most advanced broadband fiber-optic networks in the U.S., with an exceptionally strong presence in 15 Western states,” said Stephen G. Waldis, CEO, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. “As 360networks grows and evolves its network, we stand ready to support them with the unparalleled, automated transaction management that has become the hallmark of Synchronoss.”
