Multi-year partnership will enable faster time to innovation,
flexible 5G monetization and operational cost savings while driving
strong customer experience
TORONTO, Jan. 26, 2022 /CNW/ - Optiva, a leading provider
of mission-critical, cloud-native monetization and revenue
management software, today announced a multi-year strategic
partnership with Google Cloud to help telecom operators and service
providers accelerate their digital transformations and journey to
the cloud, private and public, and deployment on the edge. Through
this collaboration with Google Cloud, Optiva customers can purchase
its flagship products, Optiva BSS Platform and Optiva Charging
Engine, via Google Cloud Marketplace as a SaaS solution.
Optiva's distributed solution deployment creates new ways to
monetize 5G networks by focusing on use cases that enable
enterprise, private 5G networks, IoT, ultra-low latency use cases
and industry vertical solutions. Optiva will leverage Google Cloud
and Anthos to enable telecom operators and service providers to
seamlessly deploy and operate BSS applications across public
clouds, on-premise data centers and at the network edge.
Google Cloud and Optiva have worked together since 2018, leading
to the first deployment in the world of a cloud-native telecom
charging solution on the public cloud. The deployment was nominated
as a TM Forum Excellence Awards finalist. As the partnership
evolves, Google Cloud and Optiva set their sights on engineering
the next wave of 5G market growth and telecom customer success.
"Innovation on the edge along with cloud technologies continues
to drive digital transformation across the telecom industry at an
incredible rate," said Leen Kashyap,
Director, Edge and Connectivity Ecosystems, Google Cloud. "We're
pleased to have Optiva's solutions available on Google Cloud
Marketplace to provide customers the solutions and expertise they
need to make the most of their cloud investments and digitally
transform their business."
"Optiva has led the telecom industry in developing and deploying
BSS and converged real-time charging solutions on the public cloud.
Thus, we have gleaned and amassed a wealth of real-world, hands-on
experience and learnings," said John
Giere, CEO of Optiva. "Expanding our partnership with Google
Cloud will significantly enhance time to innovation and deliver
operational automation and cost savings for our telecom, MVNO and
MNO customers as they embrace BSS modernization and digital
transformation."
