Press Release:
Telcordia Fulfillment Suite, Powered by Telcordia Granite Inventory, Receives 2006 Product of the Year Award from Communications Solutions
Telcordia Honored for Outstanding Innovation
PISCATAWAY, NJ - May 15, 2007 - Telcordia (www.telcordia.com) announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Communications Solutions has named the Telcordia Fulfillment Suite as the winner of the 2006 Product of the Year Award in recognition of Telcordia's innovation and leadership in developing end-to-end solutions that increase efficiencies and decrease the total cost of ownership for service providers worldwide. This marks the second industry recognition for the Telcordia Fulfillment Suite in as many months. In April, OSS Observer, a leading market research firm that analyzes telecoms software, recognized Telcordia as the global Service Fulfillment market leader for the second consecutive year.
The Telcordia Fulfillment Suite, designed to enable automated end to end provisioning for advanced services on next generation networks, includes Telcordia® Granite Inventory, for provisioning, discovery and activation, and Telcordia® Expediter for order management. With this suite, operators can easily build complex service bundles and have the tools necessary for end-to-end service design, resource management and lifecycle management at scale to readily perform for the largest carriers in the world. It simplifies the fulfillment process because operators can make a single change in service definition and flow, which is then automatically funneled down to other support systems, instead of having to make multiple changes at each point in the process. This helps operators speed new services to market, better manage sophisticated services and seamlessly integrate existing systems, which results in increased network efficiencies and lower total cost of ownership.
"Having the leading edge Telcordia Fulfillment Suite recognized as the recipient of the 2006 Product of the Year Award from Communications Solutions is further validation that Telcordia continues to draw upon its unmatched innovation, experience and reach to assist operators as they strive to introduce new services, deliver them efficiently and ensure a seamless and convenient customer experience," said Michael Anderson, President, Global Solutions, Telcordia. "Telcordia recognizes that integrated fulfillment is key for service providers worldwide and will continue to offer flexible and robust solutions to help operators manage the complexities of service enablement and rationally evolve their networks to drive revenue and efficiently run operations to ensure a quality customer experience."
"Telcordia has been recognized with a 2006 Product of the Year Award for their excellence in technological advancement and application refinement," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of Communications Solutions. "Telcordia has proven they are committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."
The Telcordia Fulfillment Suite has more than 70 customer deployments and is deployed in Tier 1, wireline, wireless and cable operators worldwide, including those based on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
