TEOCO has announced it will now offer a complete, usage-based cost management appliance based on Netezza’s scalable and simple data warehouse platform.

 

TEOCO (News - Alert) is a provider of network cost optimization solutions to communications service providers worldwide. The alliance enables TEOCO to offer a complete, all-in-one appliance that helps carriers to access and analyze the data required to get to the bottom of cost issues. The companies point out that these cost issues are typically not visible at the summary levels offered by TEOCO’s competitors.

 

The Netezza (News - Alert) data warehouse platform provides the underlying infrastructure for this new cost management appliance which allows for call detail records to be captured, loaded, and enriched. This helps in an in-depth comparison with the data captured and loaded from complex inter-carrier invoices.

 

The companies point out that it is imperative for the operators to have a 360 degree view of their switch-to bill-lifecycle in order to accurately identify the real cost savings within any network.

 

John Gillespie, vice president and general manager of Global Telecommunications for Netezza noted that the traditional approaches to network cost analysis rely on the use of legacy database architectures. These in turn rely on sampling to show the most glaring cost discrepancies.

 

Thanks to the Netezza data warehouse appliance, it is now possible to have all of the data available and get a real picture of your end-to-end cost issues.

 

“We are pleased to be partnering with Netezza to deliver an all-in-on cost management appliance,” said Atul Jain, CEO for TEOCO. “We are even more pleased to offer a solution to the communications service provider industry that guarantees 100 days to business value. Identifying savings potential and cost avoidance has never been more important for the telecommunications industry.”
