Canadian developer of convergent service delivery management (CSDM) systems, Syndesis, has opened an office in Melbourne from which it will market and support its products across Asia and the Pacific. The move follows announcement of an R&D collaboration with Fujitsu Australia last November.

President and CEO, John Lochow, claimed that "Syndesis is uniquely positioned to bring production-proven solutions for triple/quad play and to help operators across AsiaPac rapidly introduce profitable new IP services and valued-added applications."

Syndesis claims that its "productised, award-winning CSDM solution is successfully in wide-scale production at many of the world's leading CSPs, including AT&T (SBC), Telecom Italia, Telus and Swisscom.

The company works with Toyo Corporation in Japan and with Alcatel, Amdocs, Fujitsu and Huawei in AsiaPac

Last November Syndesis announced a partnership with Fujitsu Australia which included plans to set up a "world-class, customer-facing operational support system (OSS) lab" that would showcase, among other things, a live multi-technology, provisioning-activation solution powered by Syndesis NetProvision and a data integrity management solution powered by Syndesis TrueSource. The announcement said that Fujitsu would house and staff the lab which would be located in Burwood, Melbourne to manage customer engagements and implementations as an independent software vendor.
