LYNDHURST, New Jersey,
August 12, 2010
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Columbus Communications Inc., a
Caribbean-based telecommunications
provider operating in 22 countries, has selected StreamWIDE
(Alternext Paris: ALSTW), a leader in next generation value-added
services, to supply the centralized voicemail solution that will
serve the residential and business market segments of three of its
subsidiaries: Flow Trinidad, Flow Jamaica, and Flow Granada.
The StreamWIDE Messaging solution is replacing Columbus' legacy
voicemail platform and providing new value-added features. For
instance, the Virtual Network Operator (VNO) feature enables
Columbus to deliver the service to its different subsidiaries,
while targeting different segments with customized configurations,
all from a single platform. Another example is the video messaging
capabilities that Columbus will be implementing in the coming
months.
"Columbus' scope of operations is large and complex, and network
resources need to be managed very efficiently in order to provide a
qualitative service with a fair price to the end users," said
Luciano Ramos, Director of Telephony
Engineering for Columbus. "We believe that the capabilities that
StreamWIDE includes in its solution are unique assets that will
significantly streamline our business."
Migration from the previous platform was carried out smoothly,
with downtime prevented due to thorough coordination between the
StreamWIDE, Columbus, and Flow technical teams. The platform has
been running without interruption since the swap occurred in the
summer of 2010.
"It is a pleasure to work with this exceptionally agile and
dynamic operator that is clearly looking for ways to be innovative
and to offer its customers the best possible services in the
market. We applaud this effort and are committed to continue
helping Columbus achieve their ambitious goals," declared
Juan C. Sanchez, StreamWIDE Sales
Director for the CALA region.
