serve customers better, improve flexibility and address the dynamic market in
Trinidad and Tobago
Telecommunications Services
of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT), the largest communications solutions provider in
its country, selected Optiva for cloud modernization to Optiva BSS Platform
next-generation full BSS stack. The partnership includes a five-year
subscription services agreement with Optiva.
TSTT
will move from a Capex to Opex model with pay-as-you-grow commercial terms
through this groundbreaking commercial agreement, leveraging the business and
innovation benefits of deploying in the cloud. The upgrade will be deployed on
TSTT's private cloud and guarantees faster time to market, monetisation and
operational flexibility. It will enable TSTT to quickly expand its revenue
streams and launch new business use cases faster.
As
a cloud-native, Kubernetes-based platform, the end-to-end solution will provide
TSTT with easier operations, native redundancy, and automated CI/CD delivery.
TSTT will gain the advantages of fast rollouts of new features with zero
downtime and evergreen software.
TSTT, which has partnered with Optiva for more than
15 years, is Trinidad and Tobago’s largest and most advanced provider of
integrated communications solutions to residential and commercial markets. The
operator's commercial customers include key industry leaders in the finance,
energy, government, manufacturing, education, healthcare, and tourism sectors.
"Optiva's BSS platform, with cloud and Kubernetes technology, allows TSTT
to leverage cloud innovation and shift to an Opex business model to achieve
extraordinary business growth and TCO savings," said Kenrick
Garcia, CTIO of TSTT.

long-standing history of making a meaningful difference in
driving its nation's development. Optiva is proud to
provide market-leading cloud technology to help TSTT achieve greater
