Verizon Business Systems Are a ‘Go’ for Networx

Achieving a major technical requirement, Verizon Business today announced its operations support systems have been tested and verified by the U.S. General Services Administration, signifying that Verizon Business is now ready to process orders under Networx Universal.

Verizon Business earlier this year was named a prime contractor under the federal government’s Networx Universal and Networx Enterprise contracts, authorizing the company to compete for business from individual government agencies. The Networx program is among the largest federal communication contracts in history.

“All systems are a go. We have been given the green light to accept orders from the government,” said Susan Zeleniak, vice president for Verizon Federal, an organization within Verizon Business dedicated to serving federal government customers. “With our deep experience as a communications provider to the federal government, we stand ready to help agencies transition to Networx. We are committed to working with our government customers through the transition process.”

The Networx program requires GSA approval of verification testing of the company’s operations support systems (OSS) before orders can be accepted. OSS are electronic interfaces and systems that handle new government services, including ordering, notification, inventory and invoicing systems. Verizon Business, working closely with the GSA, conducted verification testing of the OSS to support all Networx Universal services under the contract.

In addition, Verizon Business has received GSA security accreditation for its OSS. GSA’s independent security certification confirms that the Verizon Business OSS protects government information in accordance with government security policies, practices and processes.
