ZTE Inks Strategic Agreements with European Telecom System Integrators ATOS Origin and Indra
(Business News & Technology News, 21 Feb 2008)
ZTE Corp. (ZTE) has signed strategic telecommunications software agreement with two leading providers in Europe and Latin America—consulting company ATOS Origin and IT integrator Indra—to optimize its offerings for target customers in developed markets.
ZTEsoft, a holding subsidiary software company of ZTE, which focuses on global telecommunications IT system software, facilitated the two significant deals. The unit's flagship product ZSmart BSS/OSS has been attracting tremendous interest in the market, resulting in ZTE forging several key collaborations with providers globally. Under the ATOS partnership agreement, both companies will jointly manage market bids and collaboratively implement projects enabling ZTE's ZSmart series of software solutions to smoothly penetrate European markets where ATOS has a strong foothold.
On the other hand, ZTE's partnership with Indra will allow the company to effectively expand its global outreach. The agreement is a win-win situation for both companies—ZTE will help enhance Indra's competitiveness in the telecommunications technology field, while Indra's rich experience in high-end markets and solid IT software integration capability will help ZTE to get a solid presence in the Latin American telecom markets.
