CloudSmartz digital transformation program to support Seaborn’s existing software-defined products through customer portal automation
Rochester, NY, April 30, 2019 —
CloudSmartz, a global software company exclusively focused on next-generation solutions for Communications Service Providers, in collaboration with Seaborn Networks (“Seaborn”), a leading developer-owner-operator of subsea fiber optic cable systems, today announced that CloudSmartz will enable Seaborn’s digital transformation strategy and deployment over the next several months. Seaborn’s Seabras-1 offers the only, direct POP-POP route between São Paulo, Brazil and New York City, USA, and soon will offer an end-to-end automation platform that will enable services to be delivered by leading SDN technology.
Seaborn and CloudSmartz will develop and deploy a fully integrated customer portal solution to automate Seaborn’s front-office processes, bringing more efficiency in their current sales, operations, inventory and service provisioning cycles, and provide real-time visibility into the service delivery functions across the organization. The platform will also enable on-demand SDN services and deliver bandwidth in near real-time delivery.
Seaborn’s responsiveness and service delivery is already industry-leading. The partnership with CloudSmartz promises that Seaborn’s leadership position as a subsea communications service provider will be further solidified as the program supports their existing range of software defined products to:
- Enable Seaborn to provide the first real-time software-defined delivery platform in the Americas region for enhanced IP, Cloud and Transport services
- Provide Seaborn’s customers with a full-service portal that enables them to:
- Provision and amend Seabras-1 services in real time through a user-friendly self-service portal
- Enter service queries and quickly see updates to active tickets, delivery activities and service history
- See a detailed listing of all their Seabras-1 services, real time usage information and billing status
- Transform Seaborn to be able to provide the first customer-centric, on-demand service platform that will redefine the way in which services are delivered in the region and elevate the quality of service Seaborn provides to a new level within the international telecoms market.
- Provide customers with a holistic view of their relationship with Seaborn through this intuitive portal
- Offer customers the continued assurance of working with Seaborn’s owned and operated 24×7 NOC and DR NOC
