Omnix Software Partners with Ventera Corporation

UK network infrastructure management platform combined with targeted systems integration expertise delivers cost management advantages to North American telecoms operators.

Bristol, UK, 7 May, 2009 - Omnix Software, the UK-based provider of project automation software solutions for telecom infrastructure management, today announced a partnership with Ventera corporation, a systems integration consultancy working across the wireless telecoms, financial and government sectors in the United States.

The partnership delivers a best practice software and services offering, based on more than 10 years experience with leading European operators, to the North American market. Driven by extensive merger and acquisition activity, nationwide US operators now have many customized, disparate systems managing their network infrastructures locally. In contrast to these legacy systems, which create organizational work process inefficiencies and higher operating costs, Omnix and Ventera offer the streamlined efficiency and financial savings of a standardized software platform, increasing ease of use, allowing the flexible deployment of equipment and human resources, and enabling internal and third party performance monitoring through standardized reporting. Efficient network infrastructure management and performance reporting tools are especially critical for US operators, who often outsource the acquisition, construction and management of their infrastructure to third parties and need robust solutions to monitor contractual performance.

Robert Acosta, CEO of Ventera, commented: "US operators are in desperate need of a best-practice management tool that can be rolled out across their networks to consolidate processes and decommission legacy systems. We chose to partner with Omnix after a thorough review of the market because they are specialists, have an unmatched customer base and have the track record to build customer confidence. The Omnix platform's superior flexibility allows for the implementation of diverse customer requirements quickly and in a way that supports and integrates new and legacy work flows. Together Omnix and Ventera bring an entirely new technology value proposition to the US market, along with the specialist experience to mitigate the risk to operators who implement it."

William Tickner, CEO of Omnix Software added: "To support our expansion into the North American market, Omnix needed an established, trusted partner with a specialist focus on network infrastructure and asset management. Ventera has a strong track-record in this domain with Tier 1 carriers and site management companies and, by joining forces, we can provide a world class solution and dedicated nationwide customer support to the exacting standards demanded by US and Canadian operators. Ventera's consulting expertise helps operators through the process of identifying and defining their needs, mapping their business requirements and processes, matching them to our product features and functions and managing the deployment and support of their systems, With Omnix technology North American operators can join other leading global operators in finally being able to implement a proven, best-practice solution to operational cost management."
