TSTT and Optiva partnership brings to light cloud technology
business benefits to serve customers better, improve flexibility
and address the dynamic market in Trinidad and Tobago
TORONTO, Sept. 6,
2022 /CNW/ - Telecommunications Services of
Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT), the
largest communications solutions provider in its country, selected
Optiva for cloud modernization to Optiva BSS Platform
next-generation full BSS stack. The partnership includes a
five-year subscription services agreement with Optiva.
TSTT will move from a Capex to Opex model with pay-as-you-grow
commercial terms through this groundbreaking commercial agreement,
leveraging the business and innovation benefits of deploying in the
cloud. The upgrade will be deployed on TSTT's private cloud and
guarantees faster time to market, monetisation and operational
flexibility. It will enable TSTT to quickly expand its revenue
streams and launch new business use cases faster.
As a cloud-native, Kubernetes-based platform, the end-to-end
solution will provide TSTT with easier operations, native
redundancy, and automated CI/CD delivery. TSTT will gain the
advantages of fast rollouts of new features with zero downtime and
evergreen software.
TSTT, which has partnered with Optiva for more than 15 years, is
Trinidad and Tobago's largest and
most advanced provider of integrated communications solutions to
residential and commercial markets. The operator's commercial
customers include key industry leaders in the finance, energy,

allows TSTT to leverage cloud innovation and shift to an Opex
business model to achieve extraordinary business growth and TCO
savings," said Kenrick Garcia, CTIO
of TSTT.
