Cerillion Achieves Prestigious TM Forum Diamond-Level Status

In a remarkable milestone for the telecommunications industry, Cerillion, a prominent provider of composable BSS/OSS solutions, has recently achieved the coveted 'Diamond-level' status in the TM Forum's Open API Conformance programme. This recognition places Cerillion at the forefront of the telecom sector, underscoring its commitment to excellence through extensive real-world implementations.

Leading the Charge in API Implementation

Cerillion's Diamond status is not merely ceremonial; it signifies a robust commitment to rigorous standards. The certification confirms that Cerillion has successfully certified over 50 Open APIs. More impressively, it has achieved 32 Real World Open API certifications across five distinct live customer deployments, demonstrating a level of practical application often unmatched in the industry.

The distinction of these certifications lies in their validation under actual operational conditions, setting Cerillion apart from competitors that may rely solely on theoretical testing environments. This real-world emphasis boosts confidence among its users that they can depend on Cerillion's solutions to function seamlessly in varied operational scenarios.

Pioneering API-First Approach

At the core of Cerillion's strategy is its innovative API-first architecture. By embedding Open APIs directly into its entire BSS/OSS Suite, Cerillion ensures that these essential tools are not just peripheral add-ons but integral to all system functionalities. This design allows for smooth user interfaces, streamlined workflows, and efficient integrations, enabling seamless interoperability across platforms. As a result, Cerillion can guarantee that the same APIs employed for certification are actively driving live system operations.

CEO Louis Hall emphasized the significance of these certifications, stating, "Diamond-level status is an important milestone, but the real story is how those certifications have been achieved. Our API-first approach ensures that TM Forum Open APIs are built into the core of our solution. The result is not just compliance but proven delivery in live customer deployments – giving our customers real confidence and certainty of outcome."

Concrete Achievements and Industry Recognition

Cerillion boasts the highest number of TM Forum Real World Open API certifications among all BSS/OSS vendors. Moreover, its clear separation from merely theoretical compliance to operational excellence is evident through:

• - Over 50 total TM Forum Open API certifications, earning Diamond status.
• - 32 specific TM Forum Real World Open API certifications, demonstrating unrivaled achievements in real-world deployment.
• - Proven operational success across five distinct customer environments, showcasing widespread global adoption of TM Forum Open APIs.
• - A proven, repeatable delivery model allowing clients to mitigate risks effectively and achieve predictable results.

This product-led approach also facilitates a reduction in integration challenges, accelerates the path to value for communication service providers (CSPs), and allows users to see tangible results from Open API adoption rather than just theoretical benefits.

Adding to Cerillion's prestige is its designation as 'Ready for ODA' by TM Forum, along with the availability of multiple certified ODA components. This further reinforces its commitment to delivering modular and standards-based architectures.

Conclusion: Delivering Results, Not Just Compliance

As Hall points out, Cerillion's customers demand outcomes rather than mere adherence to standards. The company's focus on standardization is pivotal for the successful delivery of projects that are on time and within budget. The Real World certifications serve as a testament to Cerillion's unwavering dedication to operational success, establishing it as a clear leader in the adoption of Open APIs within the telecom sector.
