The Netcool suite is helping to provide end-to-end management of Talkline's entire network infrastructure and the Internet services that it supports. Talkline is also using the solution for both its fixed network and Internet services. "Talkline has been very successful in moving from its original conception, as a mobile service provider, into fixed voice and Internet services," said Dr. Markus Wendel, Director Internet at Talkline. "We wanted to build on this success and required a solution that would monitor all of our service delivery platforms and allow us to differentiate our services further. Micromuse's Netcool solution allows us to rapidly roll out new services that add value for our customers." After a competitive analysis of the available technologies, Talkline selected Micromuse's flagship Netcool/OMNIbus(TM) application along with the Netcool/Internet Service Monitors(TM) (Netcool/ISMs(TM)) suite. The combined solution helps provide realtime monitoring of all aspects of Talkline's network infrastructure, including IP and special service number services on its voice networks. The Netcool/ OMNIbus application is being deployed to collect faults from various networking devices throughout Talkline's six points of presence in Germany and consolidates these faults in its Hamburg-based network operations center See NOC.

"We are delighted to be working with an innovative and customer-driven company such as Talkline," said Lou Steinberg, Micromuse's Senior Vice President, Marketing & Market Development. "In the fast-moving deregulated European telco markets, we are speaking to more and more fixed and wireless network service providers who want to enhance their products to differentiate their service offerings from those of their competitors." About the Netcool(R) Suite Micromuse's Netcool(R) software suite collects management data from more than 300 management environments and network devices, including voice, data and Internet.
