| BT Global Services (Germany) |
 Using
ECT´s turnkey solution, BT Global Services is offering enhanced
value-added services in the German fixed-line telephone network. Furthermore,
BT Global Services is also examining the viability of extending the
new product offering based on ECT technology to all of the European
countries in which it operates.
For over two years, BT has been deploying AutoCarrier®
Softswitches and the effECTive®
Service Number Suite for the realisation of intelligent service
numbers. In a tender for value-added services, BT Global Services
(formerly BT Ignite), the international fixed-line and solutions branch
of British Telecommunications plc, awarded the contract to the European
Computer Telecoms Group (ECT), a manufacturer of next-generation software-based
switching systems for carriers and telecoms service providers. In
getting the nod, the ECT Group prevailed over major manufacturers
and technology providers, adding yet another first-tier carrier to
its customer base. Using the ECT Group’s turnkey solution, BT
Global Services offers enhanced value-added services in the German
fixed-line telephone network. In a further project currently under
discussion, the enhanced value-added services could soon also be offered
in several European countries under the auspices of BT Global Services
Germany. BT Global Services opted for ECT Group’s AutoCarrier®
softswitch as the platform for its intelligent value-added services
following a competitive bidding process that included tenders from
major manufacturers of switching platforms for value-added services.
The contract awarded also includes the development of a tailored software
solution for new BT Global Services products. The ECT Group’s
project and product management team is responsible for the entire
implementation process. In addition, BT Global Services is examining
the viability of extending its new ECT-based product offering to all
European countries in which it operates.
