S3 Group's professional services and StormTest portfolio of products enable the operators' engineering, supply chain and operations departments to ensure their Content Delivery Platforms work flawlessly, regardless of where the content is coming from and which device is being used to consume it. Customers -- including operators, device manufacturers, application developers and repair facilities -- report significant savings in the time and resources dedicated to testing and customer support; one Tier-1 operator customer reduced costs by more than 80 percent after its first year of complete deployment of StormTest.
