Milpitas, California, August 22, 2006 – JDSU’s services portfolio earned recognition for commitment to high quality and performance by receiving Frost & Sullivan’s 2006 Award for Service Offering Strategy Leadership. JDSU’s complete suite of services includes test equipment management, system management, education solutions, lab and automation services, onsite diagnostic services and certified refurbished equipment.
The Frost & Sullivan Award for Service Offering Strategy Leadership is presented each year to a company that has demonstrated intelligent insight into what customers need to succeed. Frost & Sullivan looks for a company that can prove its ability to optimize its offerings by leveraging products, services, and solutions with the various price, performance, and feature points required by the market. Selecting the award recipient required an analyst team to track all end-user requirements and market dynamics within the industry, conducting interviews with suppliers, end users and industry experts. Company offerings are then compared and matched against customer demands.
JDSU’s Global Service Solutions continues to strengthen its reputation for success and dependability among its customers. Its track record in the services space includes the following recent highlights:
- Launched the industry’s only radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled asset management solution that addresses the specific needs of network equipment manufacturers and government communications providers.
- A major service provider lab contracted JDSU for test equipment and test automation services to perform fault emulation for verification of network equipment before deployment.
