Atreus Systems Chosen as a TeleManagement World Excellence Awards Finalist For Best OSS Product

Atreus' SDP-Ready Provisioning Solution Delivers Sophisticated Activation and Standards-Based Interfaces for Innovative SIP- and IMS-based Services

OTTAWA, ON, May 16, 2007 - Atreus Systems™, the leading supplier of provisioning software for VoIP and IMS-based services, announced today that it has been named a finalist in the TeleManagement Forum Excellence Awards for Best OSS Product. Atreus Systems was named in the Best New OSS category which recognizes TM Forum member companies who have made outstanding contributions in helping service providers to reduce operating costs, maintain a high standard of service quality, and increase profitability in the proliferation and support of new services. Winners will be announced in a formal awards dinner ceremony on May 21, 2007 at the TeleManagement World event in Nice, France.

Atreus’ SDP-ready provisioning solution, available now and currently deployed with service providers worldwide, bolsters the core service creation and orchestration functions provided by the leading SDP offerings with critical provisioning and activation capabilities that enable the rapid operationalization of composite IMS offerings. By implementing key telecom standards, such as the OSS Through Java Initiative (OSS/J), Atreus accelerates the migration from a vertically integrated service delivery model to a horizontal model in which a single SDP framework can be used for the creation, bundling, and delivery of IMS applications.

“We congratulate Atreus Systems on their Best New OSS finalist status for the TM Forum Excellence Awards,” said Martin Creaner, President and Chief Technical Officer of the TeleManagement Forum. "This award underscores Atreus' innovation and continued success in helping service providers around the world speed IMS deployments and generate follow-on revenue with next generation IP services. The Best OSS category was highly competitive, and as a finalist, Atreus has stood out from their peers in outstanding contribution to Telecom OSS and BSS.”

“We’re pleased that our innovation and customer successes are being recognized by TeleManagement Forum," said Andrea Baptiste, CEO, Atreus Systems. “The most significant back-office challenge for providers is to continue to meet the ongoing service delivery requirements of their legacy services, while scaling up their operations to handle the complexities inherent in delivering IMS service bundles. The industry’s top carriers and SDP vendors have come to rely on our robust provisioning solution to simplify and streamline the more complicated aspects of launching innovative SIP- and IMS-based services.”
