London, UK, February 16, 2010 - Responding to increased demand for product and service management in the Communication Service Provider (CSP) industry in the Middle East, Tribold and Giza Systems have signed a partnership agreement, which will bring Tribold’s industry-leading Enterprise Product Management solution to the region.  Shehab ElNawawi, Chairman & Managing Director at Giza Systems, said: “As the CSP industry in the region develops we are witnessing an increasing awareness of the key role that Product & Service Management plays in achieving and maintaining market positions and increasing efficiency in the areas of marketing, operations, network and finance.”

ElNawawi continued: “Tribold was an obvious partner for Giza Systems because of their Tier-1 references, the maturity of the Tribold EPM product, and particularly the leadership in the CSP community demonstrated through Tribold’s activities in the TM Forum standards and specification processes. We are excited to be working with a company that not only provides the solution but actively shapes the Product and Service Management landscape in the CSP industry and we are looking forward to bringing the benefits of Tribold EPM to the operators and providers in the region.”
