Sigma Systems surpasses 100 million managed Quad-Play IP services globally, extending its market leadership position

Sigma Systems (www.sigma-systems.com) today announced that its IP service fulfilment solution has surpassed managing over 100 million bundled IP services for communications service providers globally. The company’s award-winning advanced IP service fulfilment solutions, which enable efficient delivery of new services such as VoIP, IPTV, mobile and broadband data services over any network technology to any device, continue to drive Sigma’s success in well over 50

deployments worldwide.

“We are proud to be ensuring the highest levels of service fulfilment and satisfaction for our service provider customers who are, in turn, providing their own customers with an unprecedented service experience,” said Tim Spencer, President and COO for Sigma Systems. “Our extensive market deployments in the IP service fulfilment space is bolstered by the strength of our solutions, the company’s strong financial performance and our recognized expertise in IP service fulfilment. Sigma remains poised for continued and accelerating growth in the cable space and holds significant growth potential within the wireless, telco and satellite markets.”

Sigma’s customers include some of the largest service providers in the world, with more than 50 successful installations in North America, EMEA, CALA and AsiaPac. In addition, Sigma boasts the most widely deployed residential VoIP service management solution, with over six million lines of voice telephony deployed worldwide.

“The broadband IP services market will grow 18% CAGR through 2011 according to OSS Observer’s Communications Service Provider Market Review, September 2007. Cable MSOs and telcos alike are increasing their investments in service fulfilment for both commercial and residential services,” said Larry Goldman, Founder and Senior Analyst at OSS Observer. “With its triple play deployment history, Sigma Systems is well positioned to capitalise in these market segments.”

“We see three key trends affecting the requirements for IP service fulfilment platforms within the service provider market,” adds Sigma’s Tim Spencer. “The number of services is exploding in this everything-on-demand (X-OD) application environment. People are accessing services and content with a wide range of devices. Thirdly, two-sided-business models and the supporting enablers that allow service providers and their partners the freedom to roll out a broad range of IP Services are paramount to their collective long-term success.”

A privately held company, Sigma is debt-free, profitable and has achieved an annual growth rate averaging 46% for the past four consecutive years.
