SYNCHRONOSS TO PROVIDE BRIGHTSPEED WITH WHOLESALE PROCESS AUTOMATION, MANAGEMENT

KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 (Bernama) -- Synchronoss Technologies Inc (Synchronoss or the Company), a global leader and innovator in cloud, messaging and digital products and platforms, has announced signing a multi-year agreement with Brightspeed, a provider of broadband and telecommunications services expected to have operations in 20 States.

Brightspeed will initially comprise the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) assets and associated operations of Lumen Technologies, which are the subject of a pending acquisition by Apollo-managed funds, and utilise two key modules from the Synchronoss networkX Platform - interconnectNOW (iNOW) and Financial Analytics (FA) – for its planned fibre deployments throughout its multi-state territory across rural and suburban regions of the United States.

“As Brightspeed continues to build out its fibre optics network, iNOW and Financial Analytics will be integral in managing the company’s wholesale carrier operations,” said Chris Hill, Chief Commercial Officer at Synchronoss in a statement.

“Automating and orchestrating orders throughout the lifecycle will enable Brightspeed to keep pace with customer requests and realise revenue faster.”

“Our partnership with Synchronoss will provide us access to their state-of-the-art platforms to achieve exceptional efficiencies in managing our wholesale carrier orders and trading partner transactions,” said Chris Creager, Chief Administration Officer of Brightspeed.

The iNOW platform eliminates manual handling of service orders and manages the full lifecycle between customer and supplier via automation and rules-based validation.

It provides a single interface and database for all buyer and supplier orders, making it easy to track orders from receipt to fulfillment, reconciles billing, and provides real-time reporting - shortening time to revenue.

The Financial Analytics platform streamlines the management of complex carrier invoicing via automated workflow and intuitive rules engines for auditing, accounting, validation, and payment of invoices. FA empowers service providers such as Brightspeed with the necessary tools and processes to ensure intercarrier expenses are thoroughly analysed and confirmed prior to payment.

Leading service providers from around the world utilise Synchronoss and the iNOW platform to manage 39 million orders and transactions annually from 5,000 integrated operators.
