Telcordia Generic Requirements - GR

Telcordia Technologies provides a variety of networking and operations software, as well as consulting and training services. The company's products and services provide the infrastructure behind the daily operations of carriers worldwide, used for functions such as network design, customer care and billing, service activation, and workforce management.

Telcordia Technologies was created as the research unit (Bellcore) for the seven Baby Bells during AT&T's 1984 breakup, Telcordia was acquired by SAIC in 1997. SAIC sold Telcordia to Providence Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus in 2005.
