Alianza Helps Broadband Operators Simplify Back-Office Operations and Accelerate Time to Revenue by Expanding its Technology Partner Ecosystem

Integration with leading billing and operations system providers Innovative Systems and Azotel automates provisioning, setup, and eliminates swivel chair management Alianza Inc. announced an expansion of its Technology Ecosystem Partner Program that helps service providers streamline their back-office operations, accelerate time to revenue, and reduce the cost of delivering cloud communications. By introducing integrations with two leading billing and back-office solutions — Innovative System's eLation and Azotel's SIMPLer — Alianza strengthens its commitment to making voice simple for service providers. Leveraging Alianza's powerful API suite, these integrations enable service providers to streamline management of communications services, safeguard customer data integrity, and eliminating the inefficiencies of swivel chair provisioning by automating the time-consuming and routine tasks typically associated with account provisioning and setup.

Additionally, the integrations provide data and insights within the billing systems, enabling service providers and broadband operators to resolve customer issues faster and easier, improving the end-user experience.

• Streamline customer account setup and management in the Alianza Admin Portal, including phone number ordering, feature changes, end user password resets, and more.
• Check and change account status in the billing system.
• Automate device provisioning with the SIP credentials for the embedded phone ports on optical network terminals (ONTs) and residential gateways from leading broadband vendors.
