CGI Launches Tapestry® 7.1
Latest release further increases Tapestry's competitive advantage in Quad-Play and IMS support
FAIRFAX, VA, Oct. 15 / / -- CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), today announced the release of Tapestry(R) 7.1, with new major features in its modular rating, billing, and order management solution.
"With the rapid adoption of next generation services, traditional and new communication service providers have experienced an exponential increase in order fulfillment complexity. Current offerings, many consisting of both in-house and partner-provided components, result in an order fulfillment function that is overwhelmed by unpredictable order modifications. This negatively impacts the customer experience while increasing the cost of order fulfillment", said Rene Sotola, Vice-President, CGI.
"The newest release of Tapestry is the leap forward in order management capabilities communication service providers urgently need" added Rene Sotola. "Tapestry leverages its rules-based business logic engine to intelligently react to the numerous, highly complex cross order activities and modifications by automatically rolling back and reevaluating impacted order orchestration activities."
Tapestry 7.1 introduces the following advanced features designed to
handle the next generation of convergent products and services:
o Intelligent rollback - Tapestry's Service Manager detects order and
cross-order changes. Upon detection. it determines the impacted portion
of the order(s) and automatically rolls back, reevaluates and optimizes
the impacted order management activities, reducing order-to-cash and
enhancing the customer experience.
o Enhanced looping - New instances of the order management activities are
automatically created for each cycle of the loop, increasing
traceability and cost optimization.
o New and improved orchestration definition - Tapestry now supports
SME-driven fully graphical orchestration design as well as the full
lifecycle of orchestration definition from business logic creation
through deployment. This function includes the ability to easily export
business logic to multiple test and production environments, decreasing
time to market.
o Enhanced interoperability - Tapestry 7.1 extends support to HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and Web Services with extensibility for future
connectivity, reducing deployment costs to both legacy and modern Web
Services and SOA environments.
o Enhanced Dashboards, reporting and metrics - Preconfigured customizable
reports and dashboards support the common order management
orchestration activities, providing business intelligence to the root
causes of order fallout as well as the real-time status of orders.
