Seaborn Goes with Amdocs Optima for Seabras-1

Amdocs informed that Seaborn Networks, a developer and operator of submarine fiber optic cable systems, will deploy Amdocs Optima to monetize its submarine cable infrastructure connecting the US and Brazil.

Amdocs Optima is a new cloud-based digital customer management and commerce platform for managing the entire cycle of customer relationships.

To be delivered under a seven-year managed services contract, Amdocs Optima should enable Seaborn Networks to sell and lease submarine cable capacity to content providers, carriers, governments, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other purchasers of wholesale capacity.

“We are committed to changing the way submarine cable capacity is bought and sold,” said Larry Schwartz, CEO of Seaborn Networks. “With Amdocs Optima as the business engine behind our Seabras-1 network, we will be able to realize our vision by introducing the first international submarine cable to and from Brazil that was developed by an independent cable operator. With ever increasing data demands, our São Paulo to New York direct route will provide better quality connections between the US and Brazil, one of the fastest growing markets in the world.”

“With Amdocs Optima as the business enabler, Seaborn Networks is simplifying the delivery of submarine cable capacity for purchasers of wholesale capacity looking to offer their end users the type of superior connections expected in today’s world of digital immediacy,” said Patrick McGrory, president for Amdocs’ emerging offerings. “A cloud-based solution, offering support for multi-tenant, multi-regional operations and delivered in a managed service model, Amdocs Optima will enable Seaborn Networks to quickly bring their offerings to market with a better customer experience, and grow their business in a cost-efficient manner.”
