NetCracker Technology announced recently that Cincinnati Bell will extend its professional service and data center hosting agreement with NetCracker through the year 2020 in order to ensure a steady cost structure for key processing, support functions and applications development for its mission-critical IT systems and infrastructure.

With headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, Cincinnati Bell provides integrated communications solutions including local and long-distance voice, data, high-speed internet, entertainment and wireless services that keep residential and business customers in Greater Cincinnati connected with each other and with the world. In addition, enterprise customers across the United States rely on CBTS, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for efficient, scalable office communications systems and end-to-end IT solutions.

Extending its agreement with NetCracker provides Cincinnati Bell with a stable platform and proven support and development services to enable it to focus on building out new business segments, such as its Fioptics fiber optic voice, video and Internet services.
