AUSTIN, Texas--()--UnboundID, a leading provider of identity data solutions for cloud, telco and mobile computing, today announced its participation in the ng Connect Program, the multi-industry open innovation program founded by Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) to create the new connected user experience. By joining the program, UnboundID plans to provide innovative subscriber data management solutions for new service concepts rolled out by the collaborative program.

As next-generation 4G and LTE networks bring new levels of bandwidth to consumers and application developers, the management of subscriber data, as well as the business intelligence that can be gleaned from a user’s service choices and preferences, becomes even more vital to business growth and new revenue streams. Becoming a part of ng Connect gives UnboundID the opportunity to work with the best minds in the industry. UnboundID will work with other members to ideate, design, and build new service concepts that can be rolled out to the service provider community.

Said UnboundID CEO and Founder Steve Shoaff: “The core DNA of UnboundID is innovation, so joining an innovative program like ng Connect is a natural fit. We will bring our expertise and focus around delivering high-scale, performance-driven subscriber data management solutions to the program. We are looking forward to working with the other members to deliver services and applications that can be monetized and rolled out by the service provider community.”

UnboundID provides subscriber data solutions for cloud, telco, and enterprise computing. At the heart of monetizing any service concept is the user.

UnboundID brings the innovative unified data repository necessary to deliver the experience the user desires.

“UnboundID brings a strong core of subscriber data expertise and innovation that will help our program design and deliver better user experiences for service providers and their customers,” said Jason Collins, Vice President of Emerging Technology & Innovation at Alcatel-Lucent. “We welcome UnboundID to ng Connect and look forward to an enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with us and our member companies.”
