GLDS Opens European Office
|
We are pleased to announce the opening of a European office in
Kaunas, Lithuania. The new office is
managed by Senior Software Engineer Paulius Pazera, who joined GLDS in 1998.
We
now have development teams working around the clock. This allows us to solve problems for customers and bring new products
to market even more quickly. New
programming, support, and engineering staff members have also been added to the
company's Carlsbad, California office.
The
new office has already begun to pay off for operators who use WinCable and
SuperController. We've been able to hand off work from the California office to our team in Europe and have a solution delivered before our customers even wake up in
the morning. With software installations spread across
the globe, it made a lot of sense for GLDS to expand internationally.

Introducing WinWatch
|
Have you heard of WinWatch? The new product, which is fully integrated with WinCableŽ, provides powerful new functionality
for cable operators.
The
new WinWatch application allows users to define triggers for outage alerts,
including time frames, call types, franchises, controllers, headends, hubs, and
nodes. By analyzing service call
patterns, WinWatch can identify outages and alert the operator sooner.
The
outage detection system, which is compatible with both Standard and Enterprise
versions of GLDS software, is not intended to duplicate network monitoring
products. Unlike third-party monitoring
software, WinWatch is fully integrated with the WinCable billing and
provisioning system.
WinWatch
can be used to manage planned as well as unplanned outages. Authorized users can create
global outage work orders which will display on effected subscriber records
until the required work is completed. Contact GLDS Sales for more information about WinWatch.

NOW HIRING
|
GLDS is looking for a
few enthusiastic people to add to our team. We currently have openings in our Carlsbad, CA office
for account management, and technical support.
Candidates should have LOTS of experience in the Cable TV
industry, and be expert in the use of GLDS billing and addressable products.
The catch? GLDS has a policy of NEVER hiring
current employees from our customers. It's an ethical thing with us. However,
if you know of qualified people who have recently left the employ of a GLDS
customer please let us know! We're always looking for the best people to serve
our software users worldwide.
