Boston, MA– April 8, 2010: Clearway Network Management Solutions today announced that it has been selected by Microsoft to participate in the exclusive Microsoft Technical Adoption Program (TAP) for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2010 (OCS 2010). TAP is an early beta program for select partners and customers who Microsoft has determined are important to a successful release of OCS 2010. Clearway is among an elite group of Microsoft go-to-market partners worldwide selected for this program.

“Clearway is honored to have been selected again to participate in a Microsoft TAP,” said Raheel Retiwalla, Chief Technology Officer of Clearway. “Unified Communications solutions such as Microsoft Office Communications Server are already integrating applications to collaborate across multiple devices, including fixed phones, mobile phones, PCs, laptops, and web conferencing equipment. The convergence of technologies brings new and complex business and technical issues which need to be understood and managed. It is critical to understand what each customer device running on the OCS platform is doing in isolation and in relation to all the other devices on a client’s network. Without this capability, service providers leave their quality of service and reputations to chance, and enterprises risk big productivity losses. Clearway’s OCS Expert addresses these challenges, and with our inclusion in TAP, we can continue to work with Microsoft to ensure that OCS Expert drives the highest possible Quality of Experience for OCS 2010 users,” continued Mr. Retiwalla.

“Some of the world’s largest enterprises and service providers have standardized on the Clearway NMS platform of Network Assurance Expert and OCS Expert for Unified Communications including OCS,” said Mr. Retiwalla. “Our inclusion in TAP is particularly significant to leading OCS customers, as we will be able to feed their requirements to the Microsoft team and collaborate to develop new capabilities for OCS Expert.”
