Comarch has been selected by Telefónica as its European OSS Fulfillment and Planning systems vendor. Under the deal, Comarch will deliver Next Generation OSS licences as well as comprehensive transformation services and long-term support for Telefónica in the network planning and optimisation domains. Comarch’s existing implementation for Telefónica Deutschland led to the mult-country contract, Comarch’s first Telefónica, via its global operating business unit – Telefónica Global Resources – based in Madrid.
Comarch’s resource planning and service fulfillment solution will bring benefits for Telefónica including: improved efficiency of network operations and management of shared networks.
This is part of the challenge that Telefónica is facing regarding OSS/BSS transformation, a step towards ‘system light’ operations, shortening time-to-market and allowing global, replicable products and services without hard customisations, thus reducing integration costs and efforts.
“We greatly appreciate the flexibility of Comarch’s solutions that are tailored to fit our specific requirements. The company’s understanding of telecoms business, combined with the commitment and domain knowledge of its specialists, convinced us that by partnering with them we can successfully face the challenges of the OSS transformation project we have planned, which is why we decided to select Comarch for long-term cooperation,”said Juan Manuel Caro Bernat, director of operations & OSS at Telefónica.
Piotr Piatosa, vice president and head of the telecommunications business unit at Comarch, added: “At Comarch we know exactly how to partner with operators in the area of complex system transformations, and how to ensure smooth transition, that is in line with ongoing business operations. In addition to that, we strongly believe that our OSS solutions will enable Telefónica to realize two important business goals – optimising costs and improving efficiency.”
