Alcatel-Lucent has opened a new Migration Operation Center (MOC) in Turkey. As of March 2010, this MOC is fully operational, staffed with 50 highly skilled experts that manage complex migration projects from the region to support local and international customers.
"As service providers pursue transformation initiatives to meet key business objectives, they are increasingly seeking partners with unique skills to assist in their transformation activities,” said Curtis Price, the Program Vice President of IDC’s (News - Alert) Infrastructure Services group, in a statement.
“Through its global delivery network of Migration Operation Centers (MOC), Alcatel-Lucent (News - Alert) has developed a strong set of services for assisting operators with complex migration efforts. The new MOC in Turkey expands Alcatel-Lucent's capabilities, and allows the company to continue delivering global solutions that meet service provider transformation requirements."
This new MOC is positioned as complimenting Alcatel-Lucent’s existing migration capabilities in countries such as Poland, India and Australia. In addition, the center will deliver extensive value as it is capable of delivering critical and complex voice and data migration services in multi-technology and multi-vendor legacy and IP environments.
“Alcatel-Lucent has built unique tools, methodologies and a full set of professional services that help service providers address the complexity of customer and subscribers migration towards new networks. These capabilities enable the automation of the migration process while keeping risks and costs under control,” said Ali Kancal, Head of Alcatel-Lucent’s activities in Turkey and Azerbaijan.
“Part of Alcatel-Lucent Global Competency Centers, our new Migration Operation Center in Turkey reinforces our talent base in Turkey and brings a new dimension to our worldwide capabilities. This MOC combines global expertise and customer intimacy and is another key differentiator for our company in Turkey and in the region.”
In providing solutions for service providers’ transformation projects, Alcatel-Lucent demonstrates the importance of value-added delivery capabilities in Turkey and in the EMEA region to support customers as they make the transition to a High Leverage Network architecture and differentiate and grow their business all while reducing the overall cost structure.
In other Alcatel-Lucent news, the communications service provider grabbed headlines when it announced that its “Alternative Energy Program for Global Green Telecommunications” was declared a winner in the 2010 European Commission's Sustainable Energy Europe, or “SEE,” campaign, in the “Market Transformation-Voluntary Commitments” category.
Earlier this week, Alcatel-Lucent announced an enhancement to its microwave packet radio portfolio for the North American market with additional features and support for additional frequency bands.
