BSS solutions

NICE, FRANCE, May 16, 2017 – (ACN Newswire) –
Huawei today announced the expansion of their Telco OS Partner Program to
stimulate joint go-to-market approaches and solutions with Service (SI)
partners. As part of this initiative, the company also announced that it has
signed an Alliance Memorandum of Understanding with Infosys to explore joint
solutions in the Business Support Systems (BSS) domain. This announcement was
made at the TM Forum Live!2017, where both companies are participating. 

The Huawei Telco OS Partner Program is a
communications industry-specific partner program designed to establish partner
relationships which accelerate the digital transformation of Communication
Service Providers (CSPs) across their BSS, Operations Support System (OSS) and
Big Data functional domains. The Program was initially focused on Delivery
Service Vendors (DSV) to augment project delivery, and Solution (ISV) partners
to augment the productized solutions being delivered. To date over 1,000
engineers have been certified under the program, working across 57 different
projects, in 39 countries around the world, leveraging over 30 ISV products. 

Building from the initial focus, the Program is
now being expanded to include Service partners to accelerate the delivery of
joint solutions based on Huawei Telco OS products and partner consulting,
systems integration and application management services. 

“Huawei is focused to apply its deep
understanding of the telecom industry to deliver innovative software products
which have the potential to transform the business performance of our
customers. We are now expanding further our partner ecosystem to include
Service partners where together we can accelerate the capture of project
benefits, reducing transformation risk and optimize cost to transform for our
customers” – Ken Kang, President of BES Product Line, Huawei Software 

The Alliance Memorandum of Understanding between
Huawei and Infosys, that follows the expansion of this Program, brings together
Huawei’s industry leading BSS products and Infosys’ strength in Consulting,
Systems Integration and Application Development and Maintenance (ADM) services.
As part of the agreement, the parties will explore joint solution innovation
and labs, and promote joint solutions to customers and business partners.

“This alliance leverages Huawei’s product
innovation and Infosys’ services innovation to create unique and compelling
joint solutions which can help renew and create value for the communications
services industry. It further gives Infosys a unique advantage and value
proposition to be able to help advise our clients on the Huawei product
