Nakina Systems Corporation Appoints New CTO

OSS innovator Doug Bellinger will focus on execution of technical strategy

Ottawa – October 13, 2009 – Nakina Systems, the leading provider of applications that facilitate carrier network evolution, today announced the addition of OSS industry veteran Doug Bellinger to its team.

"With a long track record of providing management solutions for very large networks, Nakina has the technology that lets service providers control their data through network roll-outs and upgrades” says Bellinger. “As CTO, I'll keep the technical focus on applications, because this gives service providers immediate operational benefits in the intelligent control of the network domains that support new service offerings."

"As a seasoned OSS entrepreneur, Doug complements Nakina's expertise in IMS, VoIP, metro-ethernet, and transmission networks". says Jay Borden, CEO of Nakina. "Whether they are rolling out IMS, LTE, or metro ethernet, our global customer base share a common set of operational challenges. They look to Nakina applications for configuration audits, backup and restore of element data, repeatable provisioning, fault and security management and minimizing network touches."

Doug is an accomplished motivator of technical and professional staff, with over twenty years of experience in telecommunications networking, service and network management. Doug was a co- founder of Atreus, which was acquired by Sonus in 2008. He has experience in all aspects of software product development and life cycle management. Doug previously held positions at Solect Technology, CrossKeys Systems, CADLink Technology and Newbridge Networks.

Prior to co-founding Atreus, Doug was also a founding member of CrossKeys Systems Corporation, a leading network and service management company that achieved IPO in 1997.
