Original Press Release:
Oracle Introduces Oracle® Communications Service Creation Environment 3.0 for Rapid Service Innovation
Accelerating Time to Market for New Services, Application is Key Component of Oracle's Integrated Communications Suite, Spanning OSS, BSS and Service Delivery Platform
NICE, France, May 20 / / - TELEMANAGEMENT FORUM -
- Oracle today announced general availability of Oracle® Communications
Service Creation Environment (SCE) 3.0 to help communications service
providers (CSPs) bring new services to market faster. Through a
unified graphical interface, users can define, configure, assemble and
deploy new or existing services from the Oracle Communications Service
Fulfillment Suite - helping to foster rapid service deployment and
innovation with less risk.
- This new version of SCE now spans several components of the Oracle
Communications Service Fulfillment Suite, including Oracle
Communications Order and Service Management, Oracle Communications
Unified Inventory Management and Oracle Communications Service
Activation. SCE combines data from the three applications for a
simplified view that helps service providers introduce new services
through design efficiencies, such as version control and team
collaboration.
- SCE 3.0 enables rapid service deployment by providing an accurate view
of services, such as broadband, IPTV, wireless or others, already
existing in a service provider's inventory or market offering. The
application, which includes new capabilities for controlling versions
of service design and associated documentation, helps users configure,
create, assemble and deploy new service offerings. By enabling
providers to leverage their existing service components and modify them
to fit new customer needs - as opposed to creating wholly new services
- SCE helps speed time to market.
- SCE also allows service providers to prototype new services, deploy and
operate pilot programs, and refine and adapt services before
undertaking a full market launch. This ability helps reduce risk and
service creation costs while enabling providers to innovate and evolve
seamlessly from early service incubation through full maturity -- a key
requirement for many next-generation services that may not yet be
operationally mature.
- SCE is part of Oracle's end-to-end suite for the communications
industry, which also includes Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue
Management, Oracle's Siebel CRM, Oracle Service Fulfillment Suite,
Oracle Service Delivery Platform and Oracle Application Integration
Architecture for Communications.

- "Operators' traditional use of standalone 'silos' in their OSS, BSS and
service delivery environments has hampered their ability to create and
deliver truly innovative, convergent services," said Shira Levine,

important step toward enabling rapid service innovation."
