ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ-EVOL), a leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and IP carrier markets, today announced a new addition to its Tertio™ activation solution. The new module, called Tertio Content Connector, provides a unique answer to the challenges of activating next-generation services and helps operators integrate content and service delivery platforms on which innovative IP-based services can be launched.

Service activation systems have typically been built for a limited number of services over specific network technology. In order to keep pace with new service requirements, a lengthy process of coding of software adapters for new network elements is often necessary. However, next-generation services bring new challenges. New, open service delivery platforms encourage third party content and application development and use new IT-based platforms with new interoperability standards. All of this requires support for a more dynamic environment in which services and systems may be introduced, updated or withdrawn more frequently than ever before.

“The ability for customers to quickly and easily register, subscribe and set up services, no matter how complex the service bundle, is a critical part of the customer experience. Operators need to view activation as an essential element in achieving customer satisfaction,” commented Sanjay Mewada, vice president with Yankee Group. “As operators start delivering a broad set of converged services, they need carrier class solutions that enable the convergence of communications and IT systems.”
