Portal Software, Inc., the premier global provider of
billing and Revenue Management solutions for
telecommunications and media markets, announced TelcoOne
version 2, the latest version of the Universal Application
Network (UAN)-based, productized integration between industry
leading customer facing solutions from Siebel Systems, Inc.
and Portal's leading Revenue Management system. Version 2
extends the capabilities of TelcoOne to include support for
Siebel Communications 7.7 and Portal 7.
TelcoOne version 2 enables telecommunication and media
service providers to manage, synchronize, and coordinate
sales, marketing, and customer service across all
communication channels and points of customer contact. It
provides enhanced support for business processes such as
account management, product and pricing management, order
management, and billing management as well as improved
performance. By supporting service providers' most common
cross-application business processes, TelcoOne enables
carriers to go to market with an integrated solution more
quickly, at a lower cost, and with less complexity.
"We're excited to continue our partnership with Siebel and
strengthen the solution and joint value we bring to our
customers," said Bhaskar Gorti, senior vice president of
global sales, marketing, and alliances for Portal Software.
"This joint investment provides a clear message to our
customers of our continued commitment to ensuring the success
of our customer's needs and provides a powerful, comprehensive
integrated solution."
TelcoOne leverages UAN specifically for the communications
service and media industries, enabling carriers to effectively
integrate Portal 7 with Siebel Communications 7.7 to optimize
their cross-application business processes. This results in
greater organizational agility and a lower total cost of
technology ownership. UAN is a standards-based architecture
for business integration developed by Siebel Systems in
collaboration with the world's leading technology companies.
By decoupling the application specific logic from the
application-agnostic business process, TelcoOne enables
flexibility around system consolidation as well as upgrades
and replacements.
"The end-user touch points that Siebel provides are richly
enhanced with capabilities through integration with the Portal
7 Revenue Management systems," said Butch Winters, vice
president and general manager of global alliances for Siebel.
"With TelcoOne version 2, our customers reap the benefits of
the added functionality without time consuming and costly
integration projects."
TelcoOne version 2 will be available at the end of October
2005.
