One Communications outsources SS7 operations to VeriSign,
supplemented by VeriSign® Number Portability, VeriSign® Toll-Free Database
Services, and VeriSign® Calling Name Database Services to deliver compelling
telecommunications offerings to more than 160,000 business customers.
Key Challenges
Merge three disparate company infrastructures into a single SS7 environment
within highly aggressive timeframes to leverage business opportunities
and minimize competitive exposures.
Offer subscribers a compelling and fully integrated suite of services,
and create a painless transition path for new clients moving away from
competition.
Identify a world-class partner with the experience and track record
to successfully execute the project within required deadlines and provide
comprehensive services on an ongoing basis.
“When CTC, Choice One and Conversent Communications
joined forces to form One Communications, we were faced with the challenge
of integrating three disparate networks. VeriSign proved to be a valuable
partner by helping combine our SS7 services onto one converged platform—enabling
us to immediately offer a compelling suite of services, greatly improve
our efficiency, and realize significant financial benefits.”
