Italtel has done a deal with Italy-listed process consultancy Exprivia to build business in the domestic Service Provider market, with particular focus on Operational Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS), domestic large enterprises and selected international markets.
The partnership will allow the companies to pool skills in order to create a joint commercial penetration plan for the Service Provider market. Italtel and Exprivia will propose a joint offer which will integrate their expertise, products and services in OSS and BSS with typical IT components. Areas of collaboration will include applications such as Network and Inventory Creation, Work Force Management, Network Performance Management and Service Assurance, as well as professional services associated with them. In this context, among others, commercial results have already been achieved through a number of IT contracts, they say.
For Italy’s Large Enterprises market, Italtel and Exprivia will offer joint solutions based on Exprivia’s IT solutions (web portals and applications such as Application Outsourcing, Back Office Applications and Analytics) which complement technology developed by Italtel for next-generation Data Centres, Enterprise Data Networks and Unified Communication and Collaboration services. Commercial activities will mainly focus on the Telecommunications market, as well as Finance, Healthcare, Government and Energy and Utility sectors.
The cooperation also extends to international Service Provider markets in regions already covered by the two partners, such as Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru and Turkey.
Stefano Pileri, CEO of Italtel: “In a world that needs joint developments to optimize customer solutions and make them more flexible and adaptable, the contributions of both our companies speeds up our mutual positioning in ICT."
In addition to the business partnership, the agreement between Italtel and Exprivia includes an industry partnership to design and engineer solutions for specific projects relating to topics, such as virtualisation through Telco over Cloud and IMS Mobile Wi-Fi offload, as well as new fields like the use of Business Intelligence technologies and Big Data in the Service Provider context.
