Solution to be showcased at Billing & OSS
World 2004
New York,
May 4, 2004 - IPlay3™, a consortium merging market-leading
technologies from Highdeal, NetCentrex and Envivio, today announced
the billing and OSS components of its triple play solution. IPlay3
offers a best-of-breed, integrated solution for providers seeking
a quick and cost effective entry into the residential triple
play market.
The IPlay3 solution delivers not only value-added
voice and video services on top of a high-speed Internet offering,
but is also first to market with a solution delivering integrated
billing and OSS capabilities. These capabilities provide
a comprehensive triple play service delivery platform including:
- Subscriber portal
- On demand provisioning
- Centralized offer management
- Single convergent rating & billing
platform
- Partner settlement & royalty management
In
addition, the IPlay3 solution provides powerful tools for profitability
analysis and business model simulation, tools that are particularly
critical in the rapidly emerging triple play market.
For established service providers, the
solution integrates seamlessly into existing OSS/BSS environments
providing rapid market entry with minimal disruption. Components
of the solution were developed in compliance with OSS though
Java™ Initiative (OSS/J) API's and design guidelines.
“With an increasing number of broadband
access methods and penetration rates, service providers are focusing
on protecting their market share while expanding into new markets
and services like triple play,” commented Camilla Dahlen, President
of Highdeal, Inc. “Moving to higher value and higher margin
services can be a daunting task. The IPlay3 consortium
delivers a solution that eliminates many of the OSS/BSS challenges.”
According to Alain Fernando-Santana, CEO
of NetCentrex, “The IPlay3 consortium enables service providers
to move quickly by addressing not only the service components
but also the critical billing and OSS components, enabling service
providers to focus on their markets rather than their operations.”
“The billing and OSS challenges involved
in launching a new service like triple play can be overwhelming,” said
Julien Signes, President and CTO of Envivio. “The integrated
IPlay3 solution enables service providers to manage, for example,
royalty obligations resulting from video on demand services.”
IPlay3 eco-system partners address other
critical elements of the OSS/BSS infrastructure such as digital
rights management as well as provide implementation services.
The IPlay3 billing and OSS capabilities
will be demonstrated on May 5 - 6 at Billing & OSS World
in Washington, D.C. Visit Highdeal booth 927.
