AsiaInfo Holdings, a provider of telecom software services and IT security products and services in China, said that it has been selected to build Business Operation Support System (BOSS) and Business Intelligence (BI) System as well as provide additional software and services, such as security support, network integration and monitoring, for China Mobile’s southern-based IT centre in Guangzhou.
China Mobile has embarked on a long-term strategy to centralise the IT-related systems of its western provincial subsidiaries into a southern-based IT centre in Guangzhou.
In the next three to five years, the carrier is expected to centralise its provincial BOSS, operational support systems and BI systems, research and development, training and communications and additional IT data, into these two centres.
Under the terms of the contract, AsiaInfo will also migrate Tibet Mobile’s BOSS and BI systems and integrate China Mobile Peoples Telephone Company’s BOSS and BI systems into the southern-based IT centre.
Steve Zhang, president and chief executive officer of AsiaInfo, said: It is a significant contract win as we are in the early stages of development and laying a strong foundation for future collaboration on additional projects.
“By leveraging our nationwide network and extensive experience in developing China Mobile’s IT systems, I’m confident that we are well-positioned to assist additional provinces in their effort to migrate and integrate with the centralised IT centres.
