StarView Solutions Changes Name To Shango

New Software as a Service Allows Providers to Bring Their Own Telco and Third-Party Applications Into One Unified Service Management Platform

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StarView Solutions®, an industry leading provider of wholesale telecom services, today announced that it will operate under the name Shango® and unveil its new company identity at shango.com.

The company will continue to offer its full suite of next-generation wholesale telecom services, yet the new name reflects increased focus on its market leading Integration-as-a-Service Platform, a web-based platform that standardizes the way telecom operators access, manage and deploy their legacy services and ever-expanding number of 3rd party technologies.

"Executing on our initial mission to deliver low-cost, high-scale telco services required development of a state-of-the-art service management platform. We did so with a vision towards standards-based user interface in an industry that has lacked standards. We quickly saw how valuable the feature set was to our customers in managing our services as well as those being provisioned to them by others," said David Walsh, CEO and founder of Shango. "It became clear the market was asking for an open platform that would enable service providers of all shapes and sizes to automate and standardize processes related to managing legacy and next generation services for their customers. We firmly believe that in Shango, we have delivered this solution."

Shango's Integration-as-a-Service Platform offers a translational API to simplify the low-level integration of disparate applications, customize services to stay on top of the industry's changing landscape, and to quickly onboard new wholesale telco services and/or hosted applications.

Evin Hunt, VP of Technology adds, "Managing legacy and next-generation services does not have to be complex. Our goal is to empower our customers with leading technologies," said Evin Hunt, VP of Technology at Shango. "The new Shango platform, with its flexible design for growth, does just that."
