Altibox Selects Federos Assure1 for End-to-End Service Assurance

Federos, the leading provider of unified service management solutions for telecommunications service providers, managed service providers and enterprises, announced today that Altibox, a provider of fiber optic broadband, IPTV and VoIP services in Norway and Denmark, has selected Assure1 to provide customer-focused, integrated service assurance across a large number of deployed systems. In a multi-phase project, Assure1™ will be deployed to unify and simplify Altibox’s infrastructure management and consolidate disparate and legacy tools onto a single platform to enhance customer experience.

“We needed to evolve service assurance from our current isolated element and technology focused approach to one that focuses on the customer’s end-to-end quality of experience,” said Espen Grødem, Chief Technology Officer at Altibox. “Thanks to a comprehensive proof of concept, we are confident that Federos and Assure1 will enable us to focus on customer and service assurance independent of network, device or geography.”

“Federos’ Assure1 will enable Altibox to consolidate their numerous tools into a single platform to provide improved insight to customer, service and network events,” said Bill Cannon, Chief Revenue Officer, Federos. “Together, we can reduce costs by eliminating legacy technology and improve integration with other tools to enable the operations team to focus on actions that matter rather than analyzing volumes of data.”

Federos’ service management software solutions, including Assure1 and Fusion1™, accelerate customers’ ability to simplify, automate and modernize their operating environments. The solutions plot a path for transition from current systems and infrastructure, including legacy tool consolidation, towards a future digital state that empowers customer-centric service delivery with network virtualization, automation and machine learning.

Built on scalable and open platforms, Federos solutions bring together event, fault, performance, topology, root cause analysis and service level management to provide cost and competitive advantages over historic, incumbent tool sets. Specifically,

• Assure1 provides sophisticated event analytics and machine learning using historical and realtime data to help customers quickly and accurately pinpoint and automatically resolve the root cause of service impacting events.

• Fusion1 provides workflow automation and contextual visualization that allows customers to customize, track and analyze key business data from multiple cross discipline systems, including order management, Service Level Management (SLA) reporting, performance, availability, change and topology.
