STERLING, Va., March 25, 2008 — Current Analysis has announced an industry partnership with ETIS — a member-based organization comprised primarily of European incumbent telecom operators across Western and Eastern Europe. The mission of ETIS is to enable its members to improve their business performance by personal exchange of information on using information and communication technology effectively. Current Analysis will provide ETIS members complimentary access to its Telecom Equipment Buyers guide, enabling qualified telecom equipment purchasers and executives to make strategic buying decisions on an ongoing basis.
"We are providing top telecom equipment managers from Europe's largest operators with a wealth of analytical information enabling them to make strategic buying decisions on a wide range of products and solutions they require to compete effectively in their markets," said Alex Wassiliew, Vice-President of Marketing & Business Development at Current Analysis.
The partnership will provide ETIS with unbiased analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of equipment vendors, enabling buyers to understand the products, solutions, companies and key trends that continue to shape the telecom infrastructure industry. The analytical coverage will specifically include five markets: Broadband Infrastructure, Carrier Infrastructure, Carrier IP Telephony, Optical Infrastructure, and Wireless Infrastructure. Current Analysis will provide in-depth focus around NGN strategies (e.g., overlay vs. transformation), IMS deployments, and emerging technologies such as WiMAX.
"We are excited about the Current Analysis partnership as this will give our members additional tools and resources to support vendor selection and buying decisions across a range of areas," said Fred Werner, ETIS Business Development Manager.
