| Atlantech Technologies Ltd |
Vision Management |
The founders of Atlanta began consulting in 1992 and focused on network management. In 1997 the company viewed the emerging Broadband network (driven by the Internet) as a strategic opportunity and successfully re-engineered the organisation from a consulting firm to a software firm. This was done by "productizing" its substantial expertise into a cutting edge enterprise software firm. Telecommunication service providers and data communication equipment manufacturers did this. Although a new and very small player in this industry Atlantech quickly gained attention for the ability of its software to manage heterogeneous networks and elements. Since the company's first release in 1998, the world's leading router, switch and hub manufacturers have all become clients. Atlantech's products help to simulate and optimise the network configuration, with focus on the broadband service management (xDSL, Cable, WLL). By integrating the information from these systems into a "network view" of a single customer, the carriers may not only optimise network performance but also customer service. |
