Alcatel-Lucent has announced a seven-year extension of its partnership with BT. The agreement is aimed at further enhancing the services delivered to BT Global Services' customers and at optimizing BT's non-UK non-IP network.
Under the contract, Alcatel-Lucent is expected to manage most of the legacy networks serving BT Global Services' customers. The contract is built on the two companies' multi-vendor managed services contract signed in November 2006.
During the first phase of the project Alcatel-Lucent is expected to assume operations for five legacy global and domestic networks in 27 countries outside the UK, along with the BT Global Managed Platform legacy transport network.
Hanif Lalani, CEO of BT Global Services, said: Alcatel-Lucent's innovative thinking and its experience in delivering best in class services and network management is widely recognized in the industry. BT expects to derive significant cost savings and accelerated network optimization over the lifetime of this contract.
