Group Head, NTS
Dear Employees,

Last year has been a significant year for NTS. We expanded our business growth in ATT through Key programs like
Neo, E2E Lab, AMP, NVP, SVT and Non-ATT accounts like Redknee, NBNco.
We have also expanded our business in Swisscom, not just in Test Management Services but also Automation domain.
We have won new accounts in TELUS, DirecTv, ATT Mexico, Newtec, Cisco Argentina, Cisco Canada and BT. We have
also signed a 3 Year extension to our Windstream Video Managed Services deal. We have some healthy pipeline and
hope to convert that for our FY17 growth.

As we start this new year with greater clarity, a greater determination to succeed and a renewed commit-
ment to provide exceptional customer service, we ask just one thing from each of you – be better.

• Be better in your work – think creatively, efficiently and get the details right.
• Be better with our customers – in how you prepare, how you communicate
and how you add value.
• Be better with your teammates – in how you support each other, how
you communicate and how you care about them as people.
• Be better in your community – in how you give of your time and effort
to make your town, city or neighbourhood a great place to live.
• Be better with our planet – in how you recycle, minimize your footprint,
and how you appreciate the natural beauty around us.
• Be better in your relationships out of the office – in how you communi-
cate, encourage and support.
• Be better to yourself – in your self-talk, in your personal expectations and
in your commitment to being all that you can be.

You control how you approach your days in and out of the office. Commit to being better every day.
Learn more. Be more responsive. Be more connected. Be more aware. Be tougher. Be more resilient. Be more crea-
tive. Be more present. Just be better.

Thank you for your loyalty and effort; we look forward to a great, productive and successful new year.

Warm regards,

Our aim is to validate the zones of ATT as per the Prabu Anandan
requirement. Before the zone gets operational, we
need to validate the services enlisted in the network
by AT&T. The service validation is under the complete
ownership of the resource. UE testers are available
physically within the zone network coverage area.
The MSISDNs configurations update is confirmed

with the testers in UE.

Test cases are to be thorough-
ly executed manually and analyze the
network element gateway output and
validate the services. We gather outputs
from various teams; Assimilate and vali-

ally the timeline is shared by the client to
complete the validation process. Ideally it

is 5 business days to submit the report.

During service validation, we
come across various issues to be ad-
dressed and resolved on priority. We iso-
late and troubleshoot the issues, in coor-
dination with concerned teams like CISCO gateway
team, AT&T product support team, Mediation team
etc. We analyse the logs and output at various net-
work elements provided during the troubleshooting to

resolve the issue within timeline.
