VIRGO, an information distribution company focused on the most innovative and complex business-to-business markets that fuel the U.S. and world economies, announced that the B/OSS group on LinkedIn, a social networking group formed in January 2009, approved its 5,000th member today, adding more than 1,000 members in the last six months.
A community extension of the B/OSS brand, the B/OSS LinkedIn group has members from more than 30 countries participating in discussions and networking with peers around the world. The group’s charter is to provide an ongoing forum for sharing real-world experiences and general networking. It also is a forum for news and information in the increasingly vital world of BSS and OSS.
“People from all over the world with common concerns around improving the business and operational aspects of their communications businesses are sharing experiences through our LinkedIn group," said Tim McElligott, editor in chief for B/OSS. It is a testament to the growing importance of BSS and OSS.”
“The decisions of BSS and OSS executives within service provider organizations are increasingly crucial to customer experience and optimal business performance at the bottom line,” said Danica Cullins, publisher for B/OSS. “The B/OSS LinkedIn group provides a community for like-minded professionals facing similar business challenges. B/OSS not only serves as a critical outlet for in-depth information, but also for important opportunities to network and share experience. The LinkedIn group is an everyday forum for this activity, and B/OSS looks forward to making some more announcements very soon for in-person action on a variety of levels.”
The active members of the B/OSS LinkedIn group strike up popular discussions that can carry on for weeks with dozens of people voicing their opinions. Some of the more active discussions include topics such as MVNE/MVNA solution partnership opportunities and requests for peer advice on mobile MVNO solutions, network inventory solutions and industry research.
