Velankani was established in 1985 to provide software development resources to AT&T and other large telecommunications companies. During that time, Velankani gained a strong reputation of being a reliable source for highly qualified professionals who had a comprehensive understanding of both the technical and process sides of network management.
In 1996, the telecommunications industry in the United States underwent significant change with the passage of the Telecommunications Act. As a result, new market entrants quickly emerged to provide local services. At the same time, the phenomenal growth in Internet services and the development of IP technology created new challenges in the control and management of networks and digital equipment. Soon, TMN standards-based equipment with embedded systems and controls became the norm.
These changes presented opportunities for Velankani to expand its business by providing the technical and managerial expertise that was desperately needed by new Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs), telecom software product houses, and providers of digital technology and networks. By utilizing existing employees who had gained experience in all facets of telecommunications, including TMN, and by recruiting experienced managers and software developers and project managers, Velankani built a formidable staff of skilled professionals with the first-hand knowledge needed to lead and manage development and implementation projects for the new breed of carriers that were emerging.
Since 1998, Velankani has substantially increased its client base and has established strategic alliances with telecom software product houses and providers of digital technology and networks.
With its corporate headquarters in Somerset, NJ, and a new 400,000 square-foot Technology Campus in Bangalore, India, Velankani has the facilities and human resources needed to complete a full range of systems integration work and software and hardware development projects for its growing clientele.
Today, Velankani is a thriving and experienced systems integration firm that provides strategic management consulting, technical consulting and software and hardware development to the telecommunications and e-commerce industries. Velankani manages the full life-cycle of a development project from requirements through testing and operation. Leveraging its in-depth understanding of all network elements - from embedded systems to EMS to NMS - Velankani not only defines the processes that carriers will need to efficiently operate their network they also deploy the technical solution.
