Sigma Systems and ZON Multimedia Honored with 2010 Global Telecoms
Business Innovation Award

ZONs service transformation project recognized for innovation in Fixed Network


Infrastructure category

TORONTO, June 8, 2010 Sigma Systems, an industry leader in Advanced IP


Service Fulfillment solutions, announced today that the company, along with its
customer, ZON Multimedia (ZON), has been named a recipient of the 2010 Global
Telecoms Business Innovation Award for Fixed Network Infrastructure at the GTB
Innovation Summit and Awards Dinner in London.

Now in its fourth year, the Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award is designed to
honor innovative projects in six different categories involving telecoms operators and
service providers around the world.

Sigma Systems was instrumental in ZONs service transformation project, allowing the
Portugal-based operator to roll out triple- and quad-play service bundles. Sigma
Systems Service Management Platform enabled ZON to move its individual services
out of silos and onto a single platform to fully automate order management,
provisioning and activation. With Sigma Systems, ZON has been able to quickly
introduce new services on the same platform, including cable and FTTH triple-play
service bundles and a MVNO-based mobile offering for the quad-play bundling. Other
services supported includes enabling WiFi hot-spots, and resale model support for both
IPTV over DSL; and TV plus broadband over satellite.

ZON Multimedia and Sigma Systems completed an impressive service transformation


project together and have enabled ZON to grow their subscriber base dramatically,
said Preston Gilmer, vice president of Marketing at Sigma Systems. Service
transformation continues to be a major focus for next-generation operators around the
world as they look to create innovative bundled offerings and offer new services as
quickly as possible. Our Service Management Platform has proven to be a key tool in
enabling this transformation, independent of services offered and whether they are
running over fiber, copper or airwaves.
