MOUNTAIN, Mich., September 21, 2015- CCI Systems recently announced technology expert, Drew
Kempen, has joined the team to offer additional expertise with HFC and FTTx
end-to-end architecture, solution and consulting services.
“Drew’s years of experience, business acumen, and
technical vision are vital components to providing thought leadership to our
customers and guiding them to success,” said CCI CTO, Matt Reath.
As Cable Architecture and Strategy CSE, Kempen will
play a role in developing and implementing CCI’s cable strategy, with emphasis
on Tier 2-4 service providers (SP). He has worked with cable operators around
the world in developing a planned strategy that migrates the network based on
customer and service requirements. This includes technology, service and architecture
migrations that help operators effectively transition toward a Next-Gen IP
video platform. His specializations include solution architecture, service and
bandwidth modeling and migration, service & technology transition strategy,
cost analysis and construction/operational impact analysis, with experience in developing
Optical, HFC, X-PON and FTTx solutions.
"CCI has been doing great things for services provider networks for a long time. Customers know they can come to CCI to get the job done right.” Kempen noted. “The cable operator market is about to go through a major transformation which presents an enormous opportunity for CCI. I am excited to help CCI become not only a leader in implementation, but a thought leader in the industry, where customers come to CCI to figure out ‘what to do’. As we engage customers at the strategic level on developing solutions and a long term plan, the value of CCI to the customer will vault to the top of the value pyramid; and will entrench us as a partner and solution provider to the customer for years to come.”
Kempen joins CCI after 16 years with Cisco as an Architecture Specialist and Consultant, where he worked with customers at the operational layer, as well as the strategic level, giving him a unique perspective and understanding of the requirements cable operators have when looking for solutions.
While holding a Bachelor’s degree in Business Science and Management, Kempen has also earned multiple Cisco certifications, including Cisco Certified PM, Cisco certification in networking and the Advanced Sales Masters Certification.
