[Satellite TODAY 12-14-11] Optimal Satcom has been awarded a multi-year contract by Harris CapRock to provide a company-wide capacity management system based on Optimal Satcom’s Enterprise Capacity Manager (ECM) and Complan products, the company announced Dec. 13.

   Optimal Satcom said that following Harris CapRock’s recent acquisitions, the company operated three separate capacity management systems, which were all originally provided by Optimal Satcom. As part of the agreement, Optimal Satcom is working with Harris CapRock to consolidate its legacy capacity management systems into a single integrated system.

   The new system will be deployed at Harris CapRock’s offices worldwide. After the consolidation, Optimal Satcom will support Harris CapRock with ongoing operations and maintenance of their space segment capacity management system. This agreement consolidates and expands the scope of Optimal Satcom’s previous agreements with each of the legacy companies.

   “Harris CapRock operates and manages a large portfolio of space segment capacity with multiple providers with years of operating history and established business processes, so their systems are understandably quite complex with large volumes of data. A consolidation at this scale represents significant logistical and operational challenges. We have worked closely with each of the legacy companies for many years and understand their businesses well,” Optimal Satcom President and CEO Ahsun Murad said in a statement.
