The VoIP Express
solutions are subscriber-centric fulfillment bundles that accelerate
the creation and automate the complex provisioning of VoIP offerings
tailored to the business or consumer markets. With an extensible,
multi-service platform at the heart of the VoIP Express solutions,
telecom operators can achieve shorter time-to-market for innovative
VoIP services while laying the foundation for a variety of advanced
offerings, such as IPTV, N-Play bundles, software-as-a-service and
other hosted applications. The solutions are designed to provide
support for leading VoIP and next-generation solution vendors,
including Broadsoft and Sylantro.
The product enables flow-through automation and integrated management
for hosted VoIP services, including customer premises equipment (CPE)
management and coordination of IP-PBXs, Media Gateways, Feature
Servers, and Softswitches, as well as the data network. Business VoIP
Express allows end-user customers to tailor business voice services in
real-time, defining features and preferences such as 4-digit dialling,
hunt groups, direct inward dialling, voice mail and per-service
trunking – all without manual intervention by the telecom operator.
Its unified platform design allows operators to easily launch and
deliver various business services, including hosted VoIP, IP-VPNs,
software-as-a-service, hosted applications and more – speeding new
services to market while improving operational efficiencies.
It also enables flow-through automation and integrated management for
consumer VoIP and N-Play services, supporting peak demand, subscriber
self-serve and the spontaneous impulse purchase of dynamic offerings,
while providing true end-to-end fulfillment control, including CPE and
residential gateway management. With Consumer VoIP Express, telecom
operators can take VoIP beyond standard low-margin voice, delivering
consistent service quality and compelling service bundles. It helps
operators shrink development time frames for new offerings, such as
Double-, Triple-, Quad-, or N-Play bundles, and speed innovative
services to market to leapfrog the competition.
Subex Azure will conduct demonstrations of these new products
alongside Alcatel-Lucent at the upcoming TeleManagement World
conference (booth #96) in Nice, France, May 20-24, 2007. Subex Azure’s
fulfillment solutions are a central component of Alcatel-Lucent’s OSS
portfolio for Triple-Play and next-generation services.
Both the products share common technologies that allow operators to:
- Accelerate VoIP solution deployment and minimize project risk with a
fulfillment platform that is flexible, production-proven and features
off-the-shelf support for leading VoIP vendors
- Automate fulfillment for both hosted business offerings and consumer VoIP and N-Play services
- Turn networks into a competitive advantage with intelligent,
end-to-end fulfillment that adapts connectivity to the often fluid
needs of application- and content-based services and higher-level
applications
- Leverage open service configurations for better subscriber
customization and control, improving customer satisfaction with
self-service portals and on-demand feature changes that enable
“sticky” services tailored to the “market of one”
“As operators look to differentiate themselves with new and innovative
services, speed to market and customer satisfaction are critical
success factors,” said Mark Nicholson, CTO for Subex Azure. “Building
on the strong momentum of our Express fulfillment platform, we are now
focussed on helping customers deliver VoIP services faster and with
much less risk. You can expect the Subex Azure Express suite of
service fulfillment solutions to grow as we continue to simplify many
of the most difficult operational challenges facing the
telecommunications industry.”
