Verizon Recognized for System Excellence in Business and Operations Support

Verizon has won an INTERNET TELEPHONY 2010 BSS/OSS Excellence Award for three elements of its Information Research systems architecture that are creating exceptional value and efficiency for Verizon clients.

Each year the publication recognizes a select group of companies for business support systems and operations support systems that greatly contribute to the success of its customers' businesses. 

The goal of IT work is to improve processes

"The goal of IT work is to improve processes and create industrial scale automation that deliver real benefits for our clients and serve as a competitive advantage in the marketplace. It's an honor to be recognized for our technical achievements as we pursue innovative programs that enable innovation and operational excellence," said Mustansir Jhaveri, Verizon vice president for Enterprise IT.

Together, the latter two platforms support unified-communications and have enabled the rapid launch of innovative products just as fixed mobile convergence, immersive video and IP audio-conferencing.

Only the companies who presented the best and most compelling solutions are deemed worthy of our 2010 BSS/OSS Excellence Awards."
