Leading European IT Services Company Introduces Service Automation Solution Designed for Faster Service Introduction, Efficient Management of Services and Increased Operator Revenues
3GSM WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAS) a world leader in enterprise and communications infrastructure software, today announced that TietoEnator, one of the largest IT services companies in the Nordics, has launched an innovative Mobile Content Service Automation solution utilizing its Content Partner Management (CPM) product based on BEA WebLogic Server(TM), BEA WebLogic Integration(TM) and BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper(TM) the policy enforcement and Telecom Web Services component of the BEA WebLogic Communications Platform(TM) product family. CPM is designed to enable telecom network operators to automate the end-to-end process of configuring content services and managing multiple content partners. Using CPM, operators can run more services with less management effort per service. Operators can have the flexibility to introduce niche content solutions into narrow customer segments for a short period of time. Services can be designed to help reach break-even and profitability significantly earlier.
Commenting on the launch of CPM, Kary Warnerman, Head of Solutions, TietoEnator said, "CPM can empower content providers with self-service management tools, and can automate all the operator processes related to content providers and content services. Operator processes cover everything from partner enrolment to service creation, traffic and cash flow reporting, service monitoring and phase out. BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper is designed to be an ideal product for this breakthrough service. It is designed to deliver rapid development; secure and seamless interoperability; and it can streamline the end-to-end process. Together, TietoEnator and BEA Systems can offer a complete service automation solution."
Right now, telecom operators' margins are being squeezed by a number of factors: the significant degree of manual effort needed to manage services; the general lack of unified management tools for services; excessive time to market for new services -- wherein reaction to market changes are slow; and the full business potential of mobile service infrastructure not being utilized.
The CPM offers a business process management solution designed specifically for operators. It can help enable the operator's own staff and partners to manage services with minimal manual intervention. CPM can be divided into four areas. The first is a Web-based, self-care front end, consisting of a ready, built-in operator and content partner management user interface application. The second consists of operator processes that include predefined service management processes and partner management processes. The third element is the integration solution, which is designed to enable the adaptation to the operator Operation Support System (OSS)/Business Support System (BSS), such as CRM, billing and a portal. The final element is a fulfilment solution that includes ready, built-in integration to provisioning systems and network elements.
TietoEnator is part of a growing list of partners that have recently joined the BEA telecommunications partner ecosystem -- all of whom are now using the BEA WebLogic Platform and BEA WebLogic Communications Platform family of products, designed to help operators introduce new revenue generating services faster, provide a standardized approach for the creation and deployment of services, and ultimately reduce the cost of deploying content and services."
"TietoEnator recognized early on the demand from communication service providers to deliver services in volume, at a reduced cost; TietoEnator's CPM solution can help them achieve exactly that through service automation and management capabilities," said Mike McHugh, vice president and general manager WebLogic Communications Platform. "TietoEnator also recognized the advantages of building on BEA, one of leading platforms of choice for the telecom industry. BEA provided TietoEnator with a truly mission critical, open standards-based, telecom-focused platform for their innovative application."
