Under the tutelage of Co-founder and CTO of Intelliden, Glen Tindal, Intelliden became the first company to pioneer the technology for standardizing and automating IP network changes in complex multi-vendor environments. Such innovation, coupled with the high quality of Intelliden’s products, has pushed Intelliden to expand this year into the Japanese telecommunications market with the appointment of Intralink as its business development partner. Intelliden now has access to Japan’s fast-growing market segment for broadband services delivered over IP networks. In addition, Telefonica International Wholesale Services selected Intelliden to deploy Intelligent Networking solutions in Spain and South America.
In 2007, Intelliden’s development team pushed the envelope further with the roll out of Intelliden’s Policy-Based Compliance Management (PBCM) solution designed to ensure that all network changes—irrespective of the device type and complexity as well as source of requests—can be made in a policy compliant closed loop manner. Intelliden is now shipping PBCM version 1.1 allowing Customers to interact with their Network Infrastructure in a highly intuitive, point and click, drag and drop manner resulting in the ability to simultaneously, audit, notify and remediate network issues, no matter whether the issue is an Operational, Security or Regulatory Compliance problem, in a matter of minutes.

Glen has single-handedly piloted Intelliden’s aggressive patents strategy. These Patents are foundational to innovative technologies are now being implemented in the company’s pioneering networking software solutions that enable large organizations to control, manage and scale their IT networks to deliver increasingly popular services such as voice-over-IP (VoIP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), High-Definition Television (HDTV), video-on-demand, instant gaming and peer-to-peer video.
