Ceon,
Highdeal and Visionael Launch Joint End-to-End B/OSS Solution
that Seamlessly Supports New Product Delivery
Enables
convergent service providers to introduce new quadruple play
services faster and at lower cost, maximizing revenue
Nice,
France - May 21, 2007 - At TeleManagement World 2007,
Ceon, the leading provider of product lifecycle management
software; Highdeal, the world leader in pricing and rating
solutions; and Visionael, the leading provider of next generation
IP service automation and delivery management software and
services, today announced a joint end-to-end B/OSS solution.
The combined solution enables convergent service providers
to seamlessly and cost-effectively launch and manage new innovative
and combinational multi-play offerings on a regular basis.
This enables them to maximize revenue and monetize investments
for their next generation network infrastructures.
Today,
carriers need to deliver new and integrated services, both
quickly and cost-effectively. They face significant challenges
when implementing service bundles that might include video
content, mobile transactions on top of the data and voice
services. These include high customer expectations for service
quality, and the need to manually make wholesale changes every
time a new offering is introduced.
The
new solution from Ceon, Highdeal and Visionael offers service
providers a one-stop B/OSS solution that launches new services
faster, while simultaneously reducing costs of delivery and
change management. It combines each of their core software
application capabilities to deliver an end-to-end solution
to support "flow through" product introduction. The solution
includes components for service and resource inventory, sophisticated
pricing configuration, product lifecycle/catalog management,
provisioning and rating/billing.
"Introducing
new products quickly and efficiently will require operators
to configure, manage and process technical and commercial
product data more seamlessly across all the systems that support
their key business operations," said Peter Burke , CEO of
Ceon. "The combined solution from Visionael, Highdeal and
Ceon eliminates inconsistencies and gaps in critical resource,
pricing and product information, and provides all the key
components to enable operators to rapidly deploy new offerings."
The
new solution relies on Visionael's Systems Orchestrator, Provisioning
Services Manager, and Network Resource Manager for product
fulfillment, and modeling of physical and logical resources,
plus supported technical services. It uses Highdeal's Transactive
for defining innovative price plans in the rating application,
and rating utilized services. Ceon's Product Control Center
constructs the product offering and reflects the price plan
and technical service building blocks. The combined solution
also includes components for service and resource inventory,
sophisticated pricing configuration, product lifecycle/catalog
management, provisioning and rating/billing.
"Highdeal
is extremely excited to be partnering with Visionael and Ceon.
Our joint best-of-breed solution provides operators with the
right toolset to react rapidly and efficiently to market demands
for new and innovative services, products, and packages,"
said Eric Pillevesse, Co-founder and CEO of Highdeal.
"Our
joint solution will enable operators to launch and manage
product offerings of many variations much faster, retire products
quickly, and match them to specific market segment needs and
consumer lifestyles," said Craig Nichols, president and CEO
of Visionael. "We continue to listen to our customers and
the market and are excited to bring this joint offering to
market".

Highdeal and Visionael will be hosting a cocktail reception
at TeleManagement World 2007 in Nice on Wednesday, May 23
at 12:30pm. Interested parties are welcome to attend. For
