Sigma Systems and Cedar Pont announced a new partnership today that they said would enable an integrated VoIP platform for faster residential and commercial deployments.

"Our next-generation operator customers continue to transform their service offerings with innovative bundles, and delivering advanced residential and commercial VoIP services is a key competitive differentiator," said Preston Gilmer, vice president of marketing for Sigma Systems . "Our work with Cedar Point will allow operators around the world to take advantage of two best-in-class platforms that have already been deployed together in a large-scale rollout."

The two companies said that Sigma Systems’ Service Management Portfolio of fulfillment solutions has demonstrated interoperability with Cedar Point's Safari C3 Multimedia Switching System in a live, residential VoIP service offering with a major, unnamed cable operator.

Sigma Systems and Cedar Point said they would be working together to provide this integration in the form of a complete end-to-end commercial voice solution for that same cable operator.

"As Cedar Point's product family continues to expand its footprint with wireline, cable and wireless service providers, partnering with Sigma Systems will allow our customers to seamlessly deploy the residential and business VoIP offerings faster," said Jeff Walker, vice president of marketing for Cedar Point Communications. "Through our partnership, customers will be able to roll out reliable services with productivity-enhancing features quickly and economically."
