Palmetto Rural Telephone Cooperative (PRTC), a locally owned telecom service provider based in the South Carolina Lowcountry since 1951, is now using the Communications Data Group (CDG) MBS Cloud platform for billing and operations.
MBS Cloud is a modular web-based business and operations support system (B/OSS) that operates on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.
“We are very excited to be launching PRTC into the AWS environment,” Tony Stout, Chief Technology Officer of CDG and PRTC said in a press release. “We are eager for PRTC to experience the advantages of AWS and thrilled to reach the next step in CDG’s mission to provide our BSS/OSS clients immediate scalability and enhanced services and security within a transformative cloud ecosystem.”
CDG is owned by rural telecom provider, PRTC; hence, Stout’s dual title.
CDG began migrating to AWS late last year using a phrased approach to identify where AWS could enable scalability and rapid innovation using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, AWS Transit Gateway, Amazon Aurora Serverless and Amazon Simple Storage Service.
CDG says that the onboarding of PRTC for its operations support systems and business support systems (OSS/BSS) “represents a significant milestone” in the migration onto the AWS cloud.
CDG has provided billing and operational support services for more than 50 years.
