“The B/OSS LinkedIn group is truly a global marketplace for ideas and networking. People from disparate parts of the world find common ground here to discuss similar business challenges and exchange experiences," said Tim McElligott, editor in chief for B/OSS. “It is a testament to the growing importance of business and operations support systems and services."
“BSS and OSS executives within service provider organizations are looking for peer connections and information," said Danica Cullins, publisher for B/OSS. “The B/OSS LinkedIn group provides a forum for both, in the form of well-monitored discussion submissions and premium content made available through the B/OSS brand."
