REGINA – SaskTel subsidiary SaskTel International has launched a new suite of operations support system fulfilment and assurance software for communications service providers (CSPs) via a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
Operating on a hosted subscription model, the SaaS solution enables CSPs to bypass the significant upfront and ongoing cost of IT infrastructure and resources required for deploying on-site instances of software, reads the news release. Typical concerns with performance, uptime, disaster recovery and maintenance are also alleviated as software is hosted in SaskTel’s stable and secure data centres.
“For CSPs it is a win-win as they are empowered with the same powerful capabilities intrinsic to SI's OSS suite, yet can leverage the additional benefits that a SaaS structure has to provide," said SI chief operating officer Curtis Adair, in the release. "With the new solution, CSPs can drive new levels of efficiencies and cost savings into business operations, but do so with a low initial investment and a predictable expense structure."
