Baykalwestcom Keeps Growing With CBOSS Solution

CBOSS Corporation has completed another major IT expansion project in Baykalwestcom, the largest telecom company of Eastern Siberia. The upgrade will allow Baykalwestcom to serve up to 2.5 mln. subscribers.

Today, Baykalwestcom runs GSM and CDMA networks serving 50% of the region's population. And for more than 10 years, all services of the company have been based on the convergent software-hardware solution from CBOSS.

In 1Q09, Baykalwestcom's subscriber base growth rate was higher than that of The Big Three federal telecoms.

"Innovative technologies from CBOSS allow us to provide fail-safe, reliable, and high-quality services", said Svetlana Dimova, Commercial Director at Baykalwestcom. "CBOSS engineers make any upgrade absolutely invisible for our subscribers, which eliminates churn risks and increases our revenue".

"Baykalwestcom uses one of the benefits of 3D-convergence - convergence of services", said Andrey Belevtsev, Professional Services Vice President at CBOSS Corporation. "Using a convergent solution from CBOSS allows the telecom to run the entire range of services simultaneously in two standards. Moreover, CBOSS' end-to-end approach to technology development helps Baykalwestcom to preserve investments in IT, while our deep knowledge of telecommunication processes allows us to provide solutions that guarantee growth, faultless service provisioning and revenue".

Currently, Baykalwestcom uses more than 20 CBOSS products, automating billing, interaction with dealers and partners, network management and monitoring, VAS provisioning, and other business process.
