Bezeq, Israel’s largest telecommunications service provider, today announced it has selected Personeta’s TappS™ NSC as its platform of choice for Next Generation services. Bezeq will use Personeta’s platform to migrate and enhance existing IN services and roll out new ones.
Bezeq has been using Personeta’s TappS NSC for several years to support value-added services, such as Number Translation Services (NTS), Network IVR and Call Authorization services. It will now use TappS to migrate other existing IN services and enhance them with new features and capabilities. Services to be migrated include 1700, 1800, and 1900 numbers, and prepaid/postpaid calling card services. Bezeq also plans to use Personeta’s service creation environment to roll out innovative services on both circuit-switched and IP networks.
“In an era of intensified competition, Bezeq intends to grow by using next generation technologies to deliver innovative offerings, but the cost and time required to enhance existing IN services is often prohibitive” said Yuval Keinan VP of Engineering and Operations for Bezeq. “The Personeta solution is well aligned with Bezeq's next-generation strategy and allows Bezeq to rapidly and flexibly address customer needs for new and enhanced services without compromising cost-efficiency. We have been extremely pleased with Personeta solutions in the past and plan to continue building on their technology”.
TappS™ NSC is a service creation and execution environment for any type of network and protocol. It decouples the service logic from the network and uses standard Java APIs and Web Services for rapid service creation and system integration. This gives service providers, such as Bezeq, access to unprecedented programmability at a fraction of the cost and time normally associated with traditional IN services. The platform also enables end user self-care through Web, IVR, and other interfaces, giving service subscribers full control of their legacy and Next-Generation services.
"We are very proud to have been selected by Bezeq as their Next Generation platform of choice“, said Bibi Rosenbach, president and chief executive officer of Personeta. “While most legacy IN equipment is reaching “end-of-life” status, it continues to support proven and profitable services. Next Generation platforms such as TappS NSC let service providers migrate existing services onto a single platform, lower operational costs, and grow revenues with new features and services.”
