Europe
: ORMvision,
the European collaborative business process management (CBPM) software
provider, today announced a contract with H3G Italy, the Italian mobile
video company of the Hutchison Whampoa Group, to deploy ORMvision’s
ORMcenter software to manage service assurance for mobile websites
(Msites).
H3G is one of
Italy’s main mobile operators with more than two million mobile
subscribers. Serving its fast growing customer base and supporting
new (3G) services required a rapid expansion of its network and services.
It also placed enormous emphasis on the close management of both its
network and system vendors and application and content providers.
ORMcenter streamlines
communication and collaboration between operations departments of
interconnected telecommunication operators, service providers and
suppliers. The software manages end-to-end quality of service (QoS)
and service level agreements (SLA) across the whole spectrum of telecoms
operations, from quotation and provisioning through fault management
to business activity monitoring and SLA management.
For H3G, ORMcenter
will manage the fault-management process and planned-work process
with the content providers (video streaming, games etc) and the relations
with network operators, for backbone, leased lines and call relay.
The system will manage in excess of 25 vendors, including 20 content
providers, as well as relationships with Vodafone and Telecom Italia.
Phil
Church, CEO of ORMvision, said: “Service assurance for mobile
websites is being recognised as one of the most important application
areas of business process management, as it delivers instant value
to the customer. At the same time it adds certainty to the day-to-day
operational relationship with application and content providers, and
provides swift payback, a win-win position for all concerned.”
