Announced at Telemanagement World: Inlogic and Newbridge To Integrate E- Care With The Newbridge VPN Service Manager (VSM) Inlogic (www.inlogic.com) extends the widespread notion of customer self care into the network environment via integration with the Newbridge VPN Service Manager (VSM). The VSM helps service providers offer multiservice VPNs to their business customers. This innovative use of advanced technology will demonstrate how E-Care makes it possible for businesses and consumers to manage their leased data services as offered by service providers on the MainStreetXpress platform. LAS VEGAS, Dec. 7 /CNW-PRN/ - Inlogic Software Inc. and Newbridge Networks today announced a product integration effort that will make it possible for corporate customers to manage their network usage better by making real-time information available online. Announced at Telemanagement World , this technological breakthrough integrates Inlogic's Internet customer self-care suite E-Care with the Newbridge VPN Service Manager (VSM). The VSM captures network data, including service requests and provisioning, from the provider's back office software systems, while E-Care presents this information to the end user on an extranet. This allows the end user to view network usage in a fraction of the time it would take to retrieve it from back-end systems and present it in a report or other manual means. ''Newbridge has long been recognized as the benchmark for technology with rich, scalable, end-to-end integrated network and service management'', said Michael Manson, Assistant Vice President, NSM Open Programs, Newbridge Networks. ''We are pleased to be participating at TelemanagementWorld with Inlogic, showcasing their interoperability with the Newbridge management products''. This integration will allow the corporate customer to make faster, more informed decisions about network usage. As an innovation in online self- service, it will help service providers attract new corporate business. ''At Inlogic, we're committed to helping service providers compete and grow through ground-breaking technology,'' notes George Timmes, Inlogic's vice president of global sales and marketing. ''Joint projects with industry leaders such as Newbridge are a key part of that strategy.'' Demonstrations of how the integration works are being given throughout the show at Inlogic's booth (No. 25). To arrange a detailed presentation, contact Brent Jodoin at 416-464-6150.
