Chorus Chooses CSG to Support Its Company Evolution
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSG
International (NASDAQ: CSGS), a global provider of interactive
transaction-driven solutions and services, today announced that Chorus,
New Zealand's largest telecommunications infrastructure company, has
selected CSG Singleview to support its wholesale operations. Chorus
delivers ultra-fast broadband to more than 830,000 homes and businesses
across New Zealand through its wholesale channels. Around 1.8 million
lines are connected to homes and businesses throughout the country.
Chorus previously used CSG Singleview to support its wholesale
operations while part of Telecom New Zealand. In December 2011, Chorus
became a separate entity, listing on the New Zealand stock exchange
(NZSX: CNU). The company now operates in its own right and is
responsible for its own business infrastructure, and chose CSG
Singleview to support its continuing evolution.
"We chose CSG because of their proven ability to provide operational
stability and rich wholesale support capabilities for Chorus and our
partners," said Ewen Powell, chief technology officer, at Chorus.
"During a time when Chorus is incurring capital costs for network
deployment, CSG worked with us to create an agreement that aligns with
the dynamics of our business as well as the New Zealand marketplace."
"CSG has a proven track record of delivering market-leading solutions to
support the world's most progressive networks such as New Zealand's
ultra-fast broadband backbone," said Ian Watterson, vice president and
managing director of Asia-Pacific for CSG. "We understand the importance
of providing value to all our customers' stakeholders—from their
end-users to their shareholders. We work closely with them to ensure
they have the best possible total cost of ownership model for their
business support systems."
