TORONTO, July 6, 2023
/CNW/ - Optiva Inc. ("Optiva" or the "Company") (TSX: OPT), a
leader in powering the telecom industry with cloud-native billing,
charging and revenue management software on private and public
clouds, today announced that it was selected as a finalist for TM
Forum's 16th Excellence Awards 2023. Optiva and lifecell
Ukraine are recognized in the
Excellence in Serving People & Planet category for their
project "Supporting connectivity, the lifeblood of daily life, with
expanded protection in dangerous times." Winners will be announced
during the first day of DTW23 - Ignite global event in September 2023.
TM Forum's Excellence Awards recognize the world's leading
companies for their innovative achievements spanning digital
transformation, business and IT agility, customer centricity,
cross-industry partnering and collaboration, and product and
service innovation. The awards also recognize the organizations
making a significant contribution to the acceleration of digital
transformation throughout the industry.
For lifecell, a leading mobile operator in Ukraine with more than 9 million subscribers,
things changed quickly when the war began. Its immediate priority
became protecting connectivity for Ukrainian citizens, military,
law enforcement, medical and critical infrastructure workers.
lifecell has trusted Optiva's BSS platform to rapidly deploy new
disaster recovery sites away from Ukraine's front lines. The platform's
automated and digital capabilities have empowered lifecell to fully
replicate its customer database, provide new subscribers with
remote onboarding and implement new international roaming services
for reliable connectivity services.
"Congratulations to the finalists for this year's prestigious
Excellence Awards," said Nik
Willetts, CEO, TM Forum. "TM Forum's Excellence Awards are
amongst the toughest and most rigorous in the telecommunications
and technology industry. We had an outstanding selection of almost
200 submissions this year, and it was difficult to choose between
all the companies partnering and innovating to bring the industry
into the new age of digital telecoms. The finalists selected by our
impartial judging panel make an inspiring set of real-world digital
transformation case studies, and I look forward to congratulating
the winners in September."
"Optiva is proud to partner with lifecell Ukraine to keep families, communities and
emergency services safely connected during times of disaster and
war. Our BSS platform empowers lifecell with the agility,
resilience and high availability required for critical telecom
operations. We remain committed to delivering these essential
resources to support lifecell and the people of Ukraine," said Robert
