Currently, tens of thousands of kilometers of broadband networks are being constructed throughout Poland.  These structures can be compared to “highways” that will significantly boost the availability of high-speed Internet across the country. Each highway needs junctions, exit and access roads so that it could be used by local communities. The same applies to the Internet and infrastructure which is necessary to bring it to our homes. The whole system of connected vessels will work on condition we have efficient operators  that manage fiber-optic networks, as well as local internet providers whose task is to serve individual households or businesses. In order to support their activities, we have developed a brand new software called Asseco Convergent Services Environment (Asseco CSE).

Asseco CSE has been created on the basis of Asseco’s experience gained when implementing the “Internet for Mazovia” project and our long-term cooperation with the telecommunications sector. This software responds to the needs of optimizing IT infrastructure, managing services in real-time, as well as marketing of converged products, meaning services that can be bundled within a single offering (e.g. Internet, television and electricity).

“With many years of experience in cooperation with the largest Polish operators, we have managed to create a system that supports the management, sales and billing of converged services, and is well adapted to the requirements of the Polish telecommunications market,” said Radosław Semkło, Director of the Telecommunications and Media Division, Asseco Poland S.A.

Asseco CSE has been designed a component-based system, allowing for highly flexible deployment as well as reducing the costs of maintenance and integration. The system will also be a strong element in pursuing the omnichannel strategy, which involves serving customers through various access channels such as a website, call center, face-to-face meeting, or a mobile application. Asseco CSE can be installed either in the client’s own or Asseco’s infrastructure, hence the system is available for use by large telecom operators as well as by smaller, local players or mobile virtual operators.

This task has been executed by the Polish-Korean consortium, with the participation of Asseco. The company was responsible for the installation of active networking equipment as well as for the implementation of software to support the operator’s activities (the network passporting system as well as the business support system, including CRM, order management and billing). The total project cost amounted to nearly PLN 450 million (gross).

The aim of the project was to eliminate the so-called white spots, i.e. places with limited internet access, from the Mazovian Province map. Currently, ICT infrastructure has been brought to all villages.

“From now on telecom operators will be able to offer their services even in places which used to be unprofitable,” said Radosław Semkło, Director of the Telecommunications and Media Division, Asseco Poland S.A. “As a result, all the institutions and companies, as well as over 95 percent of Mazovia residents will have high-speed internet access,” he added.

Asseco was responsible for the supply and installation of active networking equipment as well as for the implementation of software to support such devices. The company will also provide maintenance services for the supplied infrastructure over a period of five years. Moreover, Asseco delivered, installed and configured the Network Passporting System. The work performed by Asseco was worth PLN 60 million (gross).

“Our participation in this project and long-term cooperation with the telecommunications sector gave us a lot of valuable experience that helped us develop a new software solution,” said Radosław Semkło, Director of the Telecommunications and Media Division, Asseco Poland S.A.

The company has developed a software solution called Asseco Convergent Services Environment (ACSE). It is a system designed to support the management, sales and billing of converged services, and is dedicated to all broadband network operators in Poland. The “Internet for Mazovia” project is now the reference user of this system.
