NEC Corporation and Netcracker Technology have been selected by Globe Telecom to support its digital transformation initiative and lay the foundation for next-generation infrastructure, including virtualisation.
Globe will use Netcracker's OSS suite and Service Orchestration solution, a component of NEC/Netcracker's Hybrid Operations Management solution and Agile Virtualisation Platform and Practice.
Globe Telecom is the leading mobile service operator in the Philippines, managing one of the nation's largest networks which delivers mobile, broadband and fixed-line services to consumers, small and medium businesses and large enterprises.
The operator is upgrading and optimising its infrastructure for new digital services. Netcracker's OSS suite, comprised of Service Activation, Resource Inventory and Discovery & Reconciliation, and NEC/Netcracker's Service Orchestration solution will enable Globe to lay the foundation for hybrid operations between physical and virtual infrastructure. The solutions will also optimise current service deployment processes and increase the level of automation.
"As one of the leading service providers in the Philippines, Globe is using our solutions to give it the agility and flexibility needed to keep pace with such a fast-moving market," said Elizabeth Pangan, President of NEC Philippines.
"The transition into a next-generation service provider requires the deployment of new technologies and processes, both of which are important aspects of transformation," said Loh John Wu, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Asia Pacific at Netcracker.
