Accenture and Microsoft Build .NET Services for Carriers

Accenture is developing a new set of Web Service-enabled solutions for wireless and wireline carriers built on Microsoft's .NET framework. The applications support key operations including customer care, sales, billing, service delivery, enterprise management and business intelligence. Accenture said the .NET-connectivity would introduce a higher level of agility and real-time transactional capability through the use of Web services. By using repeatable processes, middleware and configuration, the .NET-connected version of the joint solutions significantly reduces the time it takes to deploy new services.
