NetCracker Expands Global Footprint and Increases OSS Market Share



    NetCracker Technology announced today that the company has reached
    two corporate milestones with back-to-back customer wins around the
    globe and a fast-growing workforce to support its implementations.
    This is the third year in a row that NetCracker has more than doubled
    its worldwide personnel to meet the growing demand for NetCracker
    solutions in the global communications service provider marketplace.

    To support the company's rapid European expansion, including new
    customer wins in the Netherlands, UK and France, NetCracker announced
    the opening of a new office in London. The new office will manage
    ongoing implementations in the region.

    "This has been a pivotal year for NetCracker and its increase in
    popularity as the 'OSS Solution of Choice' for many large European
    operators," said Andrew Feinberg, NetCracker's President and CEO.
    "NetCracker is committed to the strong partnerships it has fostered
    with leading systems integrators, and we hope to expand these
    relationships as we continue to grow and hire additional personnel to
    support our mission of providing top of the line OSS solutions for the
    telecommunications industry."

    Global Growth Strategy

    Part of the company's overall global growth strategy includes
    additional hires on both the sales and delivery side in Europe as well
    as the formation of a more formalized partnership program with leading
    systems integrators. Earlier this year, NetCracker launched its
    "Service Level Transformation(TM)" campaign, which focuses on the
    critical fact that communications service providers need a
    service-centric model in the back office to compete more effectively.
    This message has quickly gained in popularity among service providers
    and industry influencers alike.

    "NetCracker has historically been relatively quiet and
    low-profile, but over the past year it has become clear that the
    company has achieved significant traction, particularly in the Tier 1
    market," said Shira Levine, Senior Research Analyst at IDC. "We
    believe that if NetCracker is able to maintain its current momentum,
    particularly with regard to ramping up its staff and strengthening its
    partnership strategy, it will be well-positioned as a leader in the
    OSS/BSS market."
