Comnet International In 1994, Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T) determined that it would exit the business for Applications Processor (AP) telemanagement products. These products provide electronic directory service, calling name display, billing, traffic data analysis, facilities management, and message service paging to telephone service providers and business customers. Comnet formulated a business plan, which ultimately resulted in Lucent granting a license to Comnet to perform R&D and to provide technical support for the AP products. Comnet International recruited a team of former Lucent engineers and managers who had previously worked on the AP products. The Comnet team coalesced quickly to meet the demand for new features and platforms requested by the user community of more than 300 AP customers. Under tight delivery schedules, the newly formed company quickly ported the AP products to more robust hardware platforms in part by tapping the resources of the offshore development center that it established in India. Based on the successful transition of AP development and support responsibilities to Comnet, Lucent's interest in applying Comnet's offshore development capabilities to other projects grew. In 1996, Lucent began to outsource significant pieces of switching and Intelligent Network development to Comnet. Since 1994, Comnet and India Comnet have continued supporting numerous projects and products, growing into a global, 325+ person full-service consulting company, focusing exclusively on the telecommunications industry.
