You have have seen the news on Reuters, TMC, or MSNBC, but in case not, it’s official: IperiaVX has been certified “HiPath Ready (U.S.)” on the Siemens HiPath 8000 Platform.

For us, this is a pretty big deal, because as Iperia Enterprise VP Josh Veshia notes:

“Many of the largest enterprises and service providers in North America rely on Siemens and the strength of their IP solutions … IperiaVX is the first Service Creation platform to successfully complete HiPath 8000 certification. This certification enables Siemens and Iperia to offer a unique value proposition to their customers: The ability to deliver high-margin, high-value communications services for their employees, partners, and clients.

These services, whose time to market used to take a year or more, can now be designed, created, tested, and deployed in just a few months with the IperiaVX Service Creation Platform.”

Though getting a certification like this one is a team effort, I’d like to flag three folks who really brought it all together: Bernd Weimar and Chuck Brooks at Siemens, and Gary Raches at Iperia. These three joined together in the Siemens lab and played a vital role in Iperia’s HiPath 8000 certification.

We’re grateful to these three guys, their teams, and to Siemens Communications in general. Now that it’s all said and done, it looks like the certification process could be the beginning of a great working relationship together.
