Calix, GLDS Speed Up OSS/BSS Integration

Carol Wilson, Light Reading/Broadband World News – As a soup-to-nuts billing and operations support system vendor for broadband service providers, GLDS is quite accustomed to integration challenges, not only for new customers but for its legacy businesses as well.

“We are in a perpetual state of development,” admits Garrick Russell, president of GLDS, more formally known as Great Lakes Data Systems Inc. “Our customers bring new technologies to us all the time, in fact, they often will introduce a whole new way of doing something. We have written eight new interfaces over the last 12 months.” More

Calix and GLDS Set a New Benchmark, Reducing the time to Complete a Full Back-Office Integration to Four Weeks with AXOS, the World’s Only Software Defined Access OS

Service providers gain an overwhelming head start on their competition by simplifying OSS/BSS integration with AXOS to shrink the time it takes to deploy new services by up to 80 percent.

PETALUMA, CA – July 26, 2018 – Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) demonstrated today that AXOS is enabling service providers to dramatically accelerate time to market and deliver new services by streamlining back-office system (BSS/OSS) integration. The complexity of integrating new systems into existing OSS/BSS infrastructure is often cited by service providers as a top inhibitor to rapidly deploying new services. The timeline for these initiatives typically stretches from many months to up to two years. However, leading customer management and billing solutions provider GLDS has demonstrated that AXOS, the world’s only software defined access OS, sets a new standard for deployment speed and simplicity. GLDS completed its first AXOS integration with the Calix AXOS Gfast systems in only four months. Once the first AXOS integration was complete, GLDS was able to complete its next integration with a new system, the Calix AXOS E9-2 Intelligent Edge System, in only four weeks. More
