Telekom Austria selects Tribold for centralised product catalog platform
2008-05-16 12:16:04
Telekom Austria AG has chosen Tribold to provide a centralised product
catalog and management capability, a move that will centralise the disparate
product catalogs currently in place at Austria's leading communications
services provider. The new platform will allow for the creation of new products
and services across product lines and feature configurable products and
add-ons to allow Telekom Austria's marketing team to create customised
service offerings. The centralised product catalog will ensure
operational savings and efficiencies and reduce the time to market for
new services.
Tribold's Product Portfolio Manager(TM) suite will integrate fully into
Telekom Austria's BSS/OSS applications, providing a single,
comprehensive view of product information across Telekom Austria's
service offerings and automating the process of product management
end-to-end.
Helmut Leopold, managing director, Platform and Technology Management,
Telekom Austria, commented: "A centralised catalog is essential in
effective product management in the increasingly competitive world of
communications. Frequent and rapid new product introduction is central
to retaining a competitive advantage, acquiring new customers and
retaining existing ones. The disparate nature of our existing product
related information in different BSS/OSS systems was clearly having an
impact on our ability to deliver new services quickly and
cost-effectively. Centralised product catalog plays one of the
cornerstone roles in the transformation of our comprehensive BSS/OSS
landscape."
