Cramer Strengthens Relationship with SAP – Companies Combine Telco Expertise

At the launch of Cramer6 OSS Suite, OSS leader Cramer today announced that it has further strengthened its relationship with SAP AG. Cramer6 OSS Suite is planned to be migrated to the SAP NetWeaver(R) platform during 2006.

A Carrier-Class Joint Solution
SAP and Cramer are working together to deliver a carrier-class joint solution to enable next generation transformation. The companies have developed detailed process models and use-case definitions–from planning through network build and from service capture to fulfillment. By linking supply chain management, network planning and service fulfillment applications, operators can move towards a highly optimized value chain across their entire enterprise to greatly increase user productivity.

Planned Support for SAP NetWeaver
Cramer plans to migrate its Cramer6 OSS Suite to SAP NetWeaver. By supporting the SAP NetWeaver platform, Cramer will accelerate deployment of the joint solution, reduce integration costs and enhance process automation and efficiency.

“Cramer and SAP provide the industry’s leading solution for next-generation network lifecycle management,” said Guy Dubois, President and CEO, Cramer. “The integration of proven OSS and enterprise supply chain capabilities on the NetWeaver platform will improve agility and significantly reduce total cost of ownership.”
