"Billing & OSS World congratulates all the finalists in this contest. The response to the program was outstanding and the competition intense, so making the cut is by itself a significant achievement and an acknowledgement of Subex's pursuit of excellence in billing and OSS," said Saxby.

The Syndesis Subscriber-Centric Fulfillment Solution from Subex forms the core of a future-proofed OSS that evolves with the service providers' business model. The solution was designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of next-generation networks, services and subscribers.

Based on the industry's most comprehensive, wholly integrated OSS platform and empowered by perpetually accurate network and service knowledge, it enables services providers to efficiently and cost effectively consolidate, coordinate and automate service creation and delivery functions across vendors, networks and services, from CPE to content.

Its extensibility and scalability ensure it will be able to support and bundle service offerings that have not yet been conceived. No other solution prepares service providers to easily solve its problems today with a foundation that also will support tomorrow's market-leading service offerings.
