New Service Definition Software Gives
Service Providers the Operational Efficiency to Cost-Effectively Introduce
Market-Responsive IP Services
Cupertino, California, May 19, 2003 – Atreus
Systems™, a service fulfillment leader for IP services
and applications, today introduced the Service Definition Suite, a first-of-its-kind
collection of innovative software that enables carriers and service providers
to speed time-to-revenue by streamlining and automating the full scope
of IP service introduction processes. Augmenting Atreus’ flagship
product, the xAuthority™ Service Fulfillment OSS Solution, service
providers now have an end-to-end, unified service introduction and delivery
solution for rolling out customer-centric IP services with unprecedented
speed and efficiency.
In a related announcement, Telcordia Technologies, Inc., an SAIC company
and the world’s largest provider of network software, consulting
and engineering services to the telecommunications industry, today announced
a teaming agreement with Atreus Systems. Together the companies will deliver
integrated solutions that radically accelerate and simplify service introduction
and fulfillment, while improving service assurance for carriers offering
IP VPNs and other advanced IP services. The success of this partnership
means unprecedented value for services providers by helping manage their
IP networks, deliver services quickly, and cut operating expenses. This
rapid service introduction environment will be an integral part of the
Telcordiaä Managed IP Solutions.
"Wireline and wireless service providers worldwide share a need to
significantly reduce the time and cost entailed by development, introduction
and management of advanced IP services such as Virtual Private Networks,
Voice over IP, and Video on Demand for businesses and consumers,"
said Michael Kennedy, founder and managing partner, Network Strategy
Partners. "Service development and introduction has always
involved such time-consuming labor investments that providers were slow
to introduce new services and limited in their test marketing and service
differentiation capabilities. Introduction and improvement of IP offerings
demanded that trained personnel manage standalone, vendor-specific service
processes and management systems. Atreus’ solution gives service
providers the rapid service introduction and delivery capabilities that
are needed for a market-responsive IP portfolio."
"Our customers recognize the Service Definition Suite as a ‘leap
innovation’ for the industry, empowering them with an intuitive
approach to quickly create and deliver customer-centric IP services,"
said Doug Bellinger, CTO and founder, Atreus Systems.
"Typically, customer-centric IP service offerings require the service
provider to navigate intricate market dynamics, introduce complex technologies,
and manage the complexity of the existing OSS environment. Atreus’
Service Definition Suite converges these complexities into a common "service
sandbox" with graphical tools that target the right bundle of services,
to the right group of customers, with the right business and operational
processes. The result is unprecedented flexibility in pursuing new revenue
opportunities, driving down unit costs, and improving customer retention."
Rapidly Introduce Market-Responsive
IP Services
With Atreus’ Service Definition Suite – a new element of the
Atreus xAuthority™ Service Fulfillment OSS Solution – providers
introduce and modify service offerings so expediently and cost-effectively
that they can afford to test bundling, pricing and marketing strategies
while broad market uptake is being secured. The Service Definition Suite
includes intuitive software that service planners use to quickly define
service parameters and business processes. When service planners develop
or alter an existing service model, specifications or changes are automatically
propagated across OSS, ensuring a speedy launch. By shortening and integrating
the full scope of processes involved in service introduction – from
design, to development, to commercial deployment – Atreus empowers
providers to affordably launch, refine and re-launch demand-driven IP
services to target audiences, and when ready, roll out services to wide-scale
markets.
Profitably Deliver Customer-Centric
IP Services
Designed to scale to millions of subscribers, Atreus xAuthority offers
a compelling service fulfillment solution that unifies front-end, customer-facing
self-service portals with the back-end OSS that execute flow-through provisioning,
authentication, and activation across the network. At the back end, service
delivery is automated across the service provider’s multi-vendor,
multi-technology network. Atreus xAuthority leverages directories by converting
customer service requirements into automated activation processes, thereby
eliminating manual, device-by-device configuration commands. This approach
speeds service delivery, reduces activation errors and simplifies configuration
and maintenance, resulting in operational savings. Service providers gain
automated control over customers, services and resources in their networks,
as well as a scalable and repeatable way to rapidly create and deliver
advanced IP services.
