customers.
As part of the
expansion, NetCracker
will deliver a wide
range of professional
services to SKY,
including program and
project management,
development, testing,
training, consulting and
support services.
“As the way consumers
watch TV and access
content changes, service
providers will benefit
from having
sophisticated billing
capabilities that
improve customer
experience and maximize
retention rates,” said
Loh John Wu, Vice
President Asia Pacific
at NetCracker. “We are
