NEC Corporation and Netcracker Technology have told OSS News Review 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.
