PLANO, TX and New York
December 6, 2004
Capgemini, one of the world's foremost providers of consulting, technology
and outsourcing services, today announced a strategic alliance that
will provide IP route analysis solutions to the telecommunications
and cable industries. Under the agreement, Ipsum and Capgemini will
engage in joint marketing, sales and operations activities to help
service providers understand and better deploy route analysis technology.
øDeploying VoIP and IP services is an important reality for service
providers. Improving the predictability and availability of IP networks
to support the services our clients provide is a primary focus for
Capgemini. With Ipsum's RouteDynamicsé, our clients may reduce the
time and costs associated with identifying, finding, and resolving
IP routing-related failures and improve service availability,Ó said
Greg Douglass, vice president with Capgemini's Telecom, Media & Entertainment
business unit. øAt Capgemini, we team with emerging market leaders,
such as Ipsum Networks, to deliver innovative solutions that can help
our clients stay competitive.Ó
Ipsum Networks and Capgemini propose working together with major multi-service
cable and access operators to implement RouteDynamics to identify
and perform real-time diagnosis of routing instabilities which can
affect business-critical services, such as VoIP. RouteDynamics proactively
alerts network managers to IP layer changes, anomalies or outages
and determines the root cause of the service-impacting problem.
øThe alliance we have forged with Capgemini is about helping our customers
achieve greater efficiencies in supporting the accelerating growth
of IP-based applications and services,Ó said Dana Brown, CEO at Ipsum.
øOur decision to partner with Capgemini is based on our confidence
in their people -- their expertise in advanced networking technologies
and information technology processes, their presence in multiple industries
and geographies, and their ability to readily respond to the needs
of our customers with a complete understanding of our solutionsÓ.
