Connectbase, The Industry Cloud for Connectivity, entered into a strategic partnership with Mytra Consulting, a consultancy specializing in business development and sales development for the telecom industry. Mytra chose to partner with Connectbase because of Connectbase’s innovative solutions, which automate and streamline carrier wholesale processes that have traditionally been manual and inefficient. Mytra’s expertise, combined with cutting-edge technology from Connectbase, will provide middle-mile companies, independent ILECs, REMCs, and cable and other broadband providers with the tools and support they need to thrive in digital transformation. “We are thrilled to partner with Mytra Consulting. Their expertise in business development and sales strategy spans decades. Together, we’re empowering independent and rural providers with the tools and support they need to excel in the digital age,” said Ben Edmond, founder and CEO of Connectbase. “Bringing new technology and workflows into a business is challenging but necessary in today’s world. Leveraging Mytra’s expertise to handle the heavy lifting for local providers changes the paradigm.” A key objective of this collaboration for Mytra is to ensure that independent providers, often possessing extensive fiber networks with unique reach into rural America, are included in the Connectbase ecosystem on its Connected World platform. Mytra will provide managed services, encompassing successful launches, ongoing support, testing, documentation and assistance in the creation of rate cards for on-net and near-net buildings. “It seems like every week I am visiting with a small provider, listening as they share that they’ve either lost their cell tower agreements or never even had the opportunity to bid on towers, or other large enterprise or government sites,” said Justin Forte, president of Mytra Consulting. “We’d like to ensure that they get a seat at the table and compete for opportunities in their own backyards.” p For more information, go to www. connectbase.com or visit Connectbase at Meeting Lounge 14 and Kiosk 2 in the Expo Hall. Communications Data Group (CDG) announced enhanced self-scheduling integration between its MBS offering – a consumer/enterprise billing and OSS solution – and CheckPoint Solutions. With this blending, CheckPoint obtains real-time installation openings from the MBS installation calendar, with customers able to select installation date and time. Using touchless scheduling, customers can now register for services without requiring customer service intervention. Future enhancements, CDG noted, will include touchless rescheduling support. “This enhanced integration is a perfect example of an empowerment tool,” said CheckPoint Director of Operations Jacob Terstriep. “Scheduling is a problem all providers face and with this integration we can streamline the entire process. A 100% hands off approach makes things easier for the customer and more efficient for internal departments.” “Providers can realize bigger ROIs when their various service-related systems communicate with each other,” said CDG CTO Tony Stout. “Individual solutions can help streamline siloed processes, but connected solutions can remap processes across a business’s entire OSS/BSS ecosystem.” p For more info, visit www.cdg.ws and www.checkpointsolutions.net.
