ACE-COMM Receives Order From US Department of Defense for OSS System Upgrade
ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ: ACEC), a global provider of advanced OSS and value-added services applications, has received an order to upgrade a current, U.S. Army regional customer to NetPlus(R) 6, the latest version of its Enterprise Operational Support System (EOSS).
This latest order, coupled with the U. S. Air Force’s worldwide deployment currently scheduled for mid-2007, will bring the total number of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) lines managed by ACE*COMM’s NetPlus 6 to more than 1.2 million worldwide. NetPlus 6, which utilizes a totally web based, J2EE architecture simplifying configuration management and system administration, currently manages more than 750,000 DoD lines worldwide.
“The easy-to-use browser interface and work flow functionality provide a tremendous advantage to our customers while reducing our administrative costs,” commented a representative for the U. S. Army in Korea. “A key reason for the decision to upgrade to NetPlus 6 was the improved security within the application, which eliminates unsecure protocols no longer approved for DoD networks.”
Jim Greenwell, ACE*COMM’s President, added, “This award is significant for ACE*COMM as it validates our decision to move to an open, industry standard web-based architecture, eliminating proprietary frameworks and protocols. The Army’s decision to upgrade was even more significant since its existing NetPlus System monitors and manages multiple switch types at more than 40 U.S. military installations from a single location.”
