Ariston Global Acquires ACE*COMM and Merges it with TeleSciences
Advanced revenue management, business analytics, and service delivery solutions to enhance value of services offered by communication service providers and large enterprise customers will be provided by new global organization
Ariston Global LLC announced it completed its acquisition of ACE*COMM Corporation. ACE*COMM will merge with TeleSciences. Together, the joint solutions address concerns of operators and enterprises as they launch new services and adopt new business models to enhance value for their subscribers.
TeleSciences is a leader in delivering innovative software and solutions for Tier 1 carriers. Its focus is on data management, event processing, real-time charging, and business analytics, allowing carriers to assure customer and product performance and profitability. ACE*COMM’s service delivery platform offers policy controls for any network transaction – complemented by a fully-configurable revenue management and service fulfillment OSS infrastructure – with customers in over 70 countries. Additionally, ACE*COMM brings an extensive enterprise OSS customer base across military, federal, state and local governments, and enterprises. The combined company brings together some of the industry’s most powerful and advanced solutions for data management, analytics, controls, and systems to enhance the value of services offered by carriers and large enterprises alike.
“The addition of ACE*COMM’s experience and solution set is both complementary and expansive,” said Kevin Dickens, co-CEO of Ariston Global. “Not only does this acquisition support our overall vision of assembling innovative companies that deliver enhanced value to BSS/OSS solutions, it presents the opportunity to deploy these solutions on a global scale. Additionally, our solution suite’s breadth will expand and now include both service provider and enterprise specific offerings.”
Mark Trudeau, President & CEO of TeleSciences, will lead the new, combined ACE*COMM/ TeleSciences organization. “In one step, we’ve dramatically broadened our offering as well as our geographic footprint,” said Mr. Trudeau. “Our solutions help our customers enable new personalized services, bill and charge for those services, measure the customer experience, and then feed that information back to further improve the service.”
Mr. Trudeau added, “As a single organization, we have greater domain expertise to support the development of innovative solutions and the delivery of related professional and support services. The outlook for our existing customers is very advantageous. While they’ll be assured of ongoing support and delivery of current solutions, they’ll also have access to best-of-breed in data management, analytics and enabling technologies.”
