Telecom software company makes R&D central to company's
growth, tripling size of global R&D team in just over a
year
TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2022 /CNW/ - Optiva Inc. (TSX: OPT), a
leader in providing communications service providers (CSPs)
worldwide with cloud-native revenue management software on the
private and public cloud, has announced the establishment of an
R&D Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, India.
Optiva chose Bengaluru thanks to its reputation as a thriving
technology centre and its concentration of global software
companies, universities and talent. With a local leadership team
already in place, Optiva aims to grow its headcount rapidly with
high-caliber engineers across a number of disciplines.
In 2022, the telecom market will continue the process of
disaggregating software from network hardware, putting software
companies in the driving seat for delivering innovation on service
provider networks. Against this backdrop, Optiva intends to lead
the innovations in the Business Support Systems (BSS) space,
allowing its service provider customers to improve their customer
experience, address new markets and drive profitability.
The Optiva leadership team has put R&D-led innovation at the
core of the company's growth strategy, and it has already tripled
the size of its R&D team over the past 12 months. The
establishment of the Bengaluru facility follows Optiva's opening of
an R&D Centre of Excellence in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 2021.
"We are not waiting for the future of telecom — we are helping
create it," said Matt Halligan, CTO
of Optiva. "Our Centres of Excellence and the growth of our R&D
team demonstrate our long-term commitment to our customers and
employees that we will be a global leader in BSS. We are proud to
invest in innovation that will transform mission-critical BSS
services, enable agile business velocity and accelerate operators'
business success in today's and future emerging markets."
