Netcracker has been selected by Vast Broadband to deliver a BSS and OSS upgrade program to enable the cable and Internet service provider ISP) to improve its customer experience, introduce new services, and to consolidate its BSS and OSS platforms to reduce total cost of ownership. Netcracker's professional services team will help Vast execute a BSS/OSS transformation initiative in an extended multiyear managed agreement.
