Now in its fourth year, the Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award is
designed to honor innovative projects in six different categories involving
telecoms operators and service providers around the world.

Sigma Systems was instrumental in ZON's service transformation project,
allowing the Portugal-based operator to roll out triple- and quad-play
service bundles. Sigma Systems' Service Management Platform (
www.sigma-systems.com/Home.aspx?PageID=29) enabled ZON to move its
individual services out of silos and onto a single platform to fully automate
order management, provisioning and activation. With Sigma Systems, ZON has
been able to quickly introduce new services on the same platform, including
cable and FTTH triple-play service bundles and a MVNO-based mobile offering
for the quad-play bundling. Other services supported includes enabling WiFi
hot-spots, and resale model support for both IPTV over DSL; and TV plus
broadband over satellite.

"ZON Multimedia and Sigma Systems completed an impressive service
transformation project together and have enabled ZON to grow their subscriber
base dramatically," said Preston Gilmer, vice president of Marketing at Sigma
Systems. "Service transformation continues to be a major focus for
next-generation operators (www.sigma-systems.com/Home.aspx?PageID=300)
around the world as they look to create innovative bundled offerings and
offer new services as quickly as possible. Our Service Management Platform
has proven to be a key tool in enabling this transformation, independent of
services offered and whether they are running over fiber, copper or
airwaves."
