Communications solutions provider Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris:ALU) (NYSE:ALU), and Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), a provider of customer experience systems, announced on Friday (12 October) the deployment of an integrated, end-to-end Operations Support System (OSS) solution to enable 'Belorusskaya Set Telekommunikatsiy' (BeST), a mobile network operator in Belarus, to centrally manage its network inventory and assets.

Alcatel-Lucent and Amdocs are delivering a unified and centralized inventory system for BeST's multi-technology, multi-vendor network, which is expected to enable the operator to better manage its network resources, including network equipment from 100 different vendors. In addition, the solution enables a variety of BeST divisions to view up-to-date information about their network resources.

According to the company, Alcatel-Lucent deployed the Amdocs Cramer OSS solution in 7 months, delivering a range of services including project management, design and consulting, solution development, integration, configuration and installation and maintenance. The solution delivers a unified network management view that allows service providers to accelerate service introduction and fulfill large volumes of customer orders more quickly and accurately. In addition, it supports future development and deployment of new services without creating further fragmentation of the OSS environment.

No financial details were disclosed.
