AUSTIN, Texas—SchlumbergerSema and Compaq Computer Corp. jointly launched a customer care and billing solution that integrates advanced Storage Area Networks (SAN) technology, which offers mobile operators higher storage capacity and greater scalability in managing next generation data applications.
SAN technology allocates storage on an as-needed basis to application servers providing quick back-up and restore capabilities with minimal interruption, which, according to the companies, ultimately reduces operator costs and increases return on investment.
“In today’s highly competitive environment, operational efficiency is a key factor in the success of a mobile operator’s business,” said Jens Troetscher, vice president of revenue management and billing solutions for SchlumbergerSema. “The unique combination of SchlumbergerSema and Compaq industry-leading solutions brings our customers unrivalled performance benefits, further reducing the total cost of ownership.”
