Cerillion Achieves 'Ready for ODA' Status

Cerillion, a renowned provider of BSS/OSS-as-a-Service solutions for the telecommunications sector, proudly announces its recent achievement of 'Ready for ODA' status with TM Forum. This recognition specifically pertains to two key offerings within Cerillion's pre-integrated BSS/OSS product suite, highlighting the company’s dedication to creating agile, interoperable solutions.

The achievement follows Cerillion's Platinum certification in TM Forum's Open API program, where Cerillion’s APIs demonstrated real-world performance across several live customer deployments, substantiating their efficacy and interoperability.

What is the ODA?

The TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) serves as a comprehensive roadmap for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and suppliers aiming to enhance business agility, improve customer experience, and streamline operations. By simplifying IT solutions, ODA makes systems easier to deploy, integrate, and upgrade. Attaining the 'Ready for ODA' designation is a mark of excellence, indicating that a supplier’s products comply fully with ODA standards—a validation that entails rigorous assessment and evaluation based on the supplier's ODA expertise and contributions to the ongoing development of the standard.

Statement from Cerillion

Louis Hall, the CEO of Cerillion, expressed his thoughts on this significant milestone:

"Achieving 'Ready for ODA' status is a testament to our unwavering focus on delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower CSPs to innovate and scale with agility. By aligning our products with TM Forum's Open Digital Architecture, we are reinforcing our commitment to fostering collaboration, interoperability, and streamlined operations for our customers worldwide."

Key Products Recognized

The two flagship products recognized with this prestigious certification are crucial to Cerillion’s larger digital transformation strategy:

1. CRM Plus: This robust omni-channel CRM solution allows CSPs to offer tailored customer experiences, enhance engagement, and efficiently manage the customer lifecycle across both B2C and B2B models.

2. Enterprise Product Catalogue: This AI-driven solution simplifies product lifecycle management by utilizing natural language processing and image recognition, thereby facilitating faster entry of new services into the market and supporting the construction of intricate, bundled product offerings.

"We’re thrilled that Cerillion CRM Plus and Cerillion Enterprise Product Catalogue have earned the Ready for ODA accreditation. This acknowledgment reflects Cerillion's strong commitment to implementing ODA standards and its contributions to the evolution of the ODA within TM Forum’s collaborative programs.
