"IP communications and more particularly, triple play, are a driving force behind many of today's service provider strategies and deployments," said Olivier Hersent, Chairman of Netcentrex. "Service providers are looking to deploy compelling and cost-effective voice-video-data service bundles as part of a long term strategy to reduce customer churn, improve ARPU and reduce operational costs. Defining a realistic and profitable long-term business case is not simple. It requires knowledge of the markets, an understanding of the technologies and solutions capable of delivering high quality services with the capacity to migrate to full IMS, FMC and Quad Play services as the markets evolve."
