Catalyst Award 2017 - TMForum Live 2017
MELBOURNE, May 30th 2017: Melbourne based BSS/OSS vendors Inomial and DGIT Systems were the proud joint recipients of the Catalyst Award for Outstanding Open Architecture and API Design, awarded at TMForum Live! last week. The award, presented during the event in Nice, France, was in recognition of their use of TMForum APIs to develop a concept Partnering Platform for MEF (Metro Ethernet Forum) Services, enabling customer self-service of global ethernet services.
The vendor team of Inomial and DGIT Systems worked with international carriers Orange, PCCW Global and Vodafone to develop the partnering platform, which was based around DGIT Systems’ Telflow fulfilment platform and Inomial’s Smile Cloud BSS solution.
Telflow was used to create a proof-of-concept ordering portal which enabled a self-service customer order to be automatically fulfilled across multiple partner networks, using the MEF Sonata interface. Telflow can take a single customer order for a UNI (Ethernet endpoint) and automatically generate multiple partner orders for OVC-UNI, OVC-ENNI and other infrastructure services across the globe.
Interest in the partnering platform was very high, with demonstrations to more than 80 teams during the four days of the conference. DGIT CTO Greg Tilton explained that the Catalyst "demonstrates the deployment of a truly global self-service ethernet network, managed by a local carrier, fulfilled through their technical and commercial partnerships with carriers in other geographies, and orchestrated by Telflow”.
Inomial's Smile cloud BSS was used to automate the billing experience. “Smile's intent-based billing enables self-service customers to add, remove and change MEF services and the underlying infrastructure without any intervention from the accounts or billing team”, Inomial CTO Mark Lillywhite said.
TMForum catalysts are rapid fire, member-driven, proof-of-concept projects which both inform and leverage TM Forum best practices and standards, connecting service providers, technology suppliers, and global enterprises to create truly thought-leading and innovative solutions to industry challenges. Smile and Telflow used TMForum based JSON messaging to manage the ordering flow, and MEF Sonata messaging for provisioning.
