Syndesis, as a recognized telecom OSS industry leader, has been enlisted by Telecom IQ, a division of IQPC, to help communications service providers (CSPs) transform their OSS systems and migrate to IP-based services while leveraging their legacy assets in a lean operator environment. In order to harness the power of true converged communications, CSPs must ensure real-time management of network resources with an OSS that is more agile and more flexible than ever before. Conference attendees will hear expert insight on demands placed on the OSS with the rollout of next generation services and learn how to take service delivery to the next level.

Mark Nicholson, Chief Technology Officer for Syndesis, addresses “The Evolution Towards Next Generation OSS: A Timeline For Upgrading To The Next Level” in partnership with George Glass, Head of Strategy and Architecture for BT, and Mehul Shah, Technical Architect, Project Manager, IT Workbench for Verizon. The panel is being moderated by Neeta Goel, Vice President for Newt Global Consulting and former Director of FTTP and Program Management for Verizon.

The presentation will cover:
– The critical OSS issues that industry needs to address;
– Lessons learned from trials, deployments and full implementations;
– Top challenges for communications service providers; and,
– The importance of partnerships.

The presentation will be held on September 27, 2006, 11:45 AM at Telecom IQ’s Next Gen OSS Integration Summit 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts.
