MORRISTOWN, N.J., Dec. 11 -- Global Consultants, Inc. (GCI), one of the fastest growing providers of end-to-end information technology services and solutions worldwide, today announced that it has successfully completed the architecture and vendor selection for best-in-class Operations Support Systems (OSS)/Business Support Systems (BSS) on-behalf of Crossroads Wireless Holding LLC. Crossroads Wireless Holding LLC, is a rapidly growing provider of wireless data, voice and Internet services for the US rural community, which based on its current rate of growth, will likely soon be the largest provider of such services in the US.
GCI's seamless integration of systems and processes delivers substantial savings in operational costs and opens up creative ways to deliver innovative new services. GCI's experience working closely with leading Tier-1 carriers for more than a decade has enabled it to build a strong foundation of domain knowledge and in-house talent.
"Our goal is to support our Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) partners in providing best-in-class wireless solutions for their communities. To do so, we recognized the need for a future-proofed, ready-to-adapt OSS and BSS infrastructure," said Tom Riley, president and chief executive officer of Crossroads Wireless. "GCI has provided us with a roadmap that will ensure our ability to effectively serve our customers."
GCI delivered a comprehensive technical and financial analysis of the OSS/BSS elements required to support Crossroads' LECs. Underlying this delivery was a "Power to Adapt" framework to ensure Crossroads' ability to minimize complexity, streamline processes, and provide state-of-the-art service unlike what the rural community has ever seen before.
"We appreciate that Crossroads recognizes that we over-delivered on their expectations. Our values are fundamentally aligned -- commitment to customer service excellence," said Kevin Elder, global head of GCI's Telecommunications group.
