VoyenceControl NG to Help Reduce Faults on Saudi Arabia’s Largest IP MPLS Network

Richardson, Texas, March 22, 2006 – Voyence, a pioneer in automated change and configuration management solutions, today announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with Integrated Networks (iNet) of Saudi Arabia, a pioneering managed services provider and value-added ICT solutions provider.

iNet is the first managed services company in the Middle East to offer a VoyenceControl NG-integrated, network compliance reporting solution.

Waleed H. Al Harkan, managing director at iNet, explained the importance of Voyence’s partnership. “iNet selects leading technology providers such as EMC Smarts for fault management, CA for performance management and Cisco for the IT infrastructure.
