Microsoft has appointed PingCo as an Operator Connect Accelerator (OCA) partner.
PingCo joins the five partners Microsoft revealed when the programme launched last month.
OCA is designed to streamline the process carriers must undertake to become authorised for Operator Connect.
Dan Pearson, CEO of Australia-based PingCo, said: “Typically, carriers who go to market through TCAP have their offerings ready in just a few weeks.
“We provide the platform, which streamlines both the customer journey and Microsoft’s verification process, and we automate the backend integration and carrier testing services.
“As a result, we shorten the time to market from six to 12 months to just a couple of weeks.”
PingCo’s Operator Connect offering is built on its TCAP platform, which is purpose-built for service providers and also supports Direct Routing.
TCAP automates onboarding, connectivity and validation for service providers.
