MetaSolv Introduces Time-to-Market OSS; Approach Focused on Facilitating Next-Generation Service Agility

MetaSolv Software, Inc. a global leader in comprehensive
operations support system solutions for next-generation communications
service providers, today introduced Time-to-Market (TTM) OSS,
leveraging MetaSolv's Provisioning 5 solution.
   More than ever, service providers worldwide are demanding extreme
flexibility from their OSS solutions, to support 90-day or less
service incubation, creation and delivery cycles. With the
introduction of Time-to-Market OSS, MetaSolv provides the capability
for operators who no longer have to choose between the operational
needs of getting a new service up and running today with limited time
and budget, and the strategic OSS platform for full-service automation
tomorrow. MetaSolv's TTM OSS approach provides scalability in cost,
sophistication, order volumes and functional footprint from the
initial implementation to the full solution.
   "Communications service providers worldwide are introducing
IP-based services in very short service creation intervals," noted
Larry Goldman, partner, OSS Observer. "They are looking for OSS
systems that can support their present VoIP and IPTV rollouts while
anticipating the introduction of IMS and Service Delivery Platforms."
   MetaSolv's Time-to-Market OSS is specifically positioned to enable
operators to deploy next generation services swiftly and affordably
for incubation in pilots, trials, and initial deployment stages. The
solution can be evolved to support fully automated operational
excellence, with the scalability and robustness critical to mass
market deployment of carrier-grade services. TTM OSS arms the agile
operator with the precision tools needed to introduce and incubate new
services by:

   --  Coordinating the abundance of people, systems and activities
        while giving back-office end-users a consistent web interface
        to see the data they need, exactly when they need to see it;

   --  Providing a series of pre-packaged processes for next
        generation services, including IPTV;

   --  Leveraging existing systems and data sources to extract data
        and make it available to back-office end-users in real-time;

   --  Tracking tasks, processes, and end-user changes, and providing
        the right information to measure and improve those processes;
        and

   --  Supporting multiple iterations of provisioning processes as
        operators introduce, refine, streamline, and automate the
        delivery of new services.

   MetaSolv's Time-to-Market OSS approach has been successfully
applied in several operators worldwide, including data services for a
large Latin American operator and VoIP services for a large incumbent
operator in Asia. In addition, MetaSolv Time-to-Market OSS has been
deployed with a large PTT in Europe for IP and Ethernet services,
where the system will rapidly enable integration with existing and new
systems for rapid service delivery as part of a comprehensive network
transformation program. In this instance, MetaSolv Time-to-Market OSS
has reduced provisioning time from hours to minutes, increased service
quality and accuracy, all while leveraging existing system
investments.
   "MetaSolv's Time-to-Market OSS, leveraging Provisioning 5, is
designed and packaged to facilitate service providers' needs to
innovate and rapidly launch new services cost-effectively," said David
Sharpley, executive vice president, marketing and product management,
MetaSolv. "MetaSolv's innovative approach allows operators to address
the balance of achieving time-to-market for new services while
maintaining a strategic OSS vision."
