BT Deploys MetaSolv's Provisioning 5 for IP Services; Carrier Implements Metasolv Provisioning 5 to Enable IP Service Delivery

MetaSolv Software, Inc., (Nasdaq:MSLV) a global leader
in comprehensive operational support system solutions for
next-generation communications service providers, today announced that
BT is implementing MetaSolv's Provisioning 5 to enable IP Service
delivery. MetaSolv's Provisioning 5 will facilitate the automated
provisioning of BT's MPLS-based IP-VPN services and network elements
as part of BT's Vserve initiative.
   The key objective of BT's Vserve program is to simplify and
automate its entire VPN provisioning process, reducing time to revenue
and lowering operational costs. As a major part of this initiative, BT
is replacing a legacy order management system with MetaSolv's
Provisioning 5 to manage the entire provisioning process for provider
edge (PE) and customer edge (CE) routers, MPLS IP-VPN services, and
quality of service (QoS). Provisioning 5 is already deployed at BT to
manage a number of services and technologies.
   "BT chose MetaSolv's Provisioning 5 due to its ability to rapidly
model and implement BT's IP VPN service processes globally," said
Simon Hollins who heads up the Vserve team in BT Global Services. "We
are delivering an improved customer experience by dramatically
reducing service delivery cycle times. Provisioning 5 contributes to
this by distinguishing itself as being a proven carrier-grade platform
with the reliability and performance necessary to meet our existing
and planned provisioning volumes."
   Provisioning 5, formerly known as MetaSolv OMS, provides critical
back-office provisioning management functions to orchestrate the
essential tasks required to deliver a service to a customer. The
solution framework enables easy integration of multiple systems, both
legacy and commercial products, and simplifies the design of new
services and bundles. Provisioning 5 has a full J2EE (JEE) meta-data
driven architecture enabling it to scale and handle the demands of the
largest carriers and provide the flexibility required to manage highly
complex service processes essential for next-generation service
delivery.
