CloudSmartz digital transformation program to support Seaborn’s existing software-defined products through customer portal automation
Rochester, NY – April 30, 2019 – CloudSmartz, a leading digital transformation enabler for next generation service providers, in collaboration with Seaborn Networks (“Seaborn”), a leading developer-owner-operator of subsea fiber optic cable systems, today announced that CloudSmartz will enable Seaborn’s digital transformation strategy and deployment over the next several months. Seaborn’s Seabras-1 offers the only, direct POP-POP route between São Paulo, Brazil and New York City, USA, and soon will offer an end-to-end automation platform that will enable services to be delivered by leading SDN technology.
Seaborn and CloudSmartz will develop and deploy a fully integrated customer portal solution to automate Seaborn’s front-office processes, bringing more efficiency in their current sales, operations, inventory and service provisioning cycles, and provide real-time visibility into the service delivery functions across the organization. The platform will also enable on-demand SDN services and deliver bandwidth in near real-time delivery.
