From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evolving Systems, Inc. is a telecommunications software company founded in 1985. It provides cloud-native platforms for subscriber lifecycle management, SIM logistics, service provisioning, and customer value management (CVM). Its software is used by communications service providers (CSPs) in more than 60 countries. Since 2022, the company has operated as part of the PartnerOne Capital group.

History

[edit]

Evolving Systems began as a telecom software vendor focused on number management. Over time, it expanded into areas such as dealer network automation, real-time SIM activation, and loyalty-based customer engagement.

In October 2021, Evolving Systems agreed to sell its Activation, Customer Value Management, and Loyalty businesses to PartnerOne Capital for approximately US$40 million. The transaction was completed in January 2022.[1]
