Ziggo, the largest Dutch cable service provider, has selected the Amdocs OSS suite to deliver a unified platform for resource and inventory management across all its business units.
The value of the deal was not reported, but market sources estimate it to be several million dollars.
Ziggo was formed by the merger of three firms -- @Home, Casema, and Multikabel.
Building on an existing partnership, Ziggo will integrate the entire network with Amdocs OSS Suite for improved operational efficiency and reduced costs. Amdocs' operations support systems packages support firms" day-to-day operations.
According to the World Economic Forum, the Netherlands maintains one of the highest technology penetration ratios in the world, with almost every house in the Netherlands connected to a broadband network.
Ziggo CTO Paul Hendriks explained the hurdles Ziggo faced after the consolidation. "After the consolidation of the Casema and Multikabel networks, we were faced with multiple legacy systems to manage 3.3 million households, 1.4 million broadband Internet customers, 900,000 digital TV customers and 750,000 telephony subscribers."
