Enterprise OSS software leader Cramer today announced that TeliaSonera, the leading telecommunications operator in the Nordics and Baltic, has selected Cramer’s award-winning OSS solution. TeliaSonera will deploy Cramer’s solution to provide an accurate, complete view of inventory and to automate business processes in its fixed line network. Wipro Technologies, one of the largest product engineering and IT service providers worldwide, will team with Cramer to implement the solution.
TeliaSonera offers a wide range of services in mobile and fixed communications and Internet and broadband across the Nordic and Baltic regions. This market is undergoing a rapid migration from fixed to mobile and Internet-based services. To continue to meet evolving market demands, TeliaSonera has licensed the Cramer OSS platform to automate the processes associated with its SDH and PDH networks.
“Wipro very much looks forward to working with Cramer at TeliaSonera,” said Shreedhara Shetty, Senior Vice President Telecom and Product Engineering Services, Wipro Technologies. “Cramer is known not only for its product strength and domain expertise, but also for its ability to foster effective relationships with its business partners.”
Reduced Opex, Increased Accuracy
As TeliaSonera continues to enhance its network infrastructure, management of operational expenditures will be an area of focus. The Cramer solution will automate the business processes involved in planning and executing network change, including provisioning and maintenance. Cramer’s industry-leading active inventory solution will provide the comprehensive and accurate data source required for effective process automation. At the same time, the scalability of the Cramer platform will allow TeliaSonera to perform regular reconciliations of its entire transmission network, maintaining the integrity of inventory data.
Reduced Time to Deploy
Cramer will support TeliaSonera’s aggressive timescales by delivering out-of-the-box technology models. These models apply industry best practices from global Cramer implementations and greatly accelerate deployment times. In addition, Cramer’s proven data-load methodologies will reduce data migration times and minimize risk.
“Automation of critical business processes is essential as carriers seek to maximize efficiency and service quality, prerequisites for transition to next-generation services,” said Guy Dubois, President and CEO, Cramer. “TeliaSonera will benefit from Cramer’s continued investment in building industrial strength solutions and our in-depth industry knowledge derived from working with leading operators around the globe.”
“We look forward to working once again with Wipro, deploying our joint skills and expertise to deliver tangible business value,” Dubois added.
Cramer will replace legacy Network Inventory.
