Leapstone Becomes Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs
Company Plans to Leverage Labs to Rapidly Expand Ecosystem of
Interoperable Products
SOMERSET, NJ AND RICHARDSON, TX (April 4, 2005)
– Leapstone Systems, a leading provider of intelligent service
delivery and content management solutions, and tekVizion™
PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, announced
today that Leapstone has signed an agreement to become a Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs™, the first lab of its kind offering
third-party certification and testing for Voice over IP (VoIP)
products and services.
“Premier Tenants” are vendors that provide their
products to tekVizion Labs to allow other vendors and service
providers to test the products. Premier Tenant status significantly
enhances the vendor’s test capacity by turning tekVizion
Labs into an extension of the vendor’s own test facilities.
Premier Tenant status also speeds up test turnaround time and
provides priority interoperability testing.
Leapstone's Communications Convergence Engine (CCE) products
enable wireline, wireless and cable operators to design, package,
deploy and manage a broad range of compelling content and services.
The CCE serviceBROKER provides operators with the necessary tools
to maximize the revenue potential of their next-generation networks
by delivering services such as data, voice over IP, video streaming
and video telephony. Its unique architectural approach is aligned
with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) framework, enabling operators
to select best-in-class vendor offerings and package them for
rapid delivery to different market segments.
tekVizion Labs offers several types of testing services involving
both remote and on-site testing at tekVizion Labs. Remote testing
can be used for pre-certification or ad-hoc test scenarios, whereas
formal certification is conducted on-site at tekVizion Labs. Certification
can be provided between two products or in a multi-product solution.
All lab services are available to both vendors and service providers.
“Our CCE serviceBROKER is designed to allow service providers
to offer differentiated service packages using multi-vendor, multi-technology
service components," said Paul Shaneck, VP of sales and business
development at Leapstone. “To truly leverage this flexible
infrastructure requires interoperability testing with a wide range
of products. We are using tekVizion Labs as a vehicle to more
rapidly expand this range of products and offer more choices to
our customers.”
“Leapstone understands the complexity of today’s
networks. Their service broker technology allows service providers
to streamline and accelerate service delivery,” said Terri
Griffin, president of tekVizion. “We are pleased to be able
to offer vendors interoperability testing to the CCE serviceBROKER
in tekVizion Labs.”
Potential customers of tekVizion Labs can request testing via
the tekVizion Labs website (www.tekVizionlabs.com)
or by contacting the program director, Jerry Mistrot. The tekVizion
Labs website allows anyone to register to be notified when new
Premier Tenants join the lab, when products are certified, and
when new services are offered by the Labs.
