AFL Named BTI Systems’ Partner of the Year

AFL was named BTI Systems’ Partner of the Year, an award that recognizes companies that have demonstrated a high level of quality and excellence in execution. AFL’s network services team provided Network Operations Center (NOC) and Front Line Maintenance (FLM) support for BTI’s customers as well as North American and European installation support over the past two years.

“AFL strives to go above and beyond to serve our customers, making sure that operations are continuously running smoothly,” commented Wayne Lower, Vice President, NOC and FLM for AFL. “We value our partnership with BTI Systems and are very excited about the future our two companies can bring to the marketplace.”

BTI delivers award-winning solutions that transform the economics, performance and innovation of global networks through intelligent networking software and systems.

AFL first partnered with BTI for Engineering, Furnishing and Installation (EF&I) services, and over the past two years has supported network monitoring and maintenance for BTI’s customers, which include large cloud services companies.

“Partners are critical to the success of any organization, and AFL is emblematic of the type of organization BTI looks to align itself with,” said Raj Sathyaraj, Senior Director, Global Services and Support at BTI. “We’re pleased to name AFL our partner of the year. It’s a very well-deserved honor as their NOC Monitoring services have been instrumental in enabling us to provide the most valuable solutions to our global customer base.”
