Satyam Joins Microsoft CSF Sandbox; Poised to Help Telcos Deliver Next-Generation
Services |
Hyderabad, India, March 12, 2007 - Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (NYSE: SAY),
the leading global consulting and information technology services provider,
announced that it has joined Microsoft’s Connected Services Sandbox.
The program is based on the Connected Services Framework (CSF), which provides
a common, streamlined environment to facilitate rapid deployment of new services.
It does so through workflow management of loosely coupled components that can
be flexibly aggregated into new, complex services, or bundled into service
packages.
Satyam’s role in the Sandbox will be one of unification. It will bring
together Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), application developers, network
equipment providers, and telecom carriers for the on-boarding, deployment,
and provisioning of new, value-added services for a “quad-play” delivery
platform.
“Satyam is committed to building exceptional solutions for next-generation
telecommunications services,” said T. R. Anand, a director
and senior vice president in the organization’s Telecom, Technical Infrastructure, Media and Entertainment,
and Semiconductors (TIMES) Division. “This partnership
with Microsoft is an important milestone in our efforts to achieve those
objectives.”
Satyam has been helping telecom organizations for two decades, and has
worked with BSS/OSS and service platform transformation solutions throughout
that
span. And, since early 2006, Satyam has worked closely with Microsoft
to build an on-boarding, management, and provisioning platform for next-generation
services.
The work includes initiatives that rely on Microsoft’s Customer Care
Framework (CCF) and CSF to build portals for IP subscription management and
dynamic services on-boarding, from various third-party service creation ecosystems.
“Today, service providers seek platforms that manage on-boarding
and provisioning across convergent IP service platforms,” said Dharmesh
Syal, vice president of Satyam’s Global Telecom Practice. “First-generation
IP service platforms for VOIP, IPTV, 3G, etc., are ‘siloed’ and do not interoperate
well with traditional BSS/OSS and service platforms.”
On the other hand, he added, Satyam’s Next-Generation Portal Solution
will leverage the Sandbox and provide a pre-integrated, tested, and centralized
service portal infrastructure for convergent services. As a result, time to
market and costs for service providers will be reduced significantly.
Satyam’s solution will help the Service/Subscription Management Portal
evolve as the umbrella component. As such, it will integrate OSS/BSS components
across service types and eliminate “siloed” solutions for service
and subscription management. Additionally, customers can ultimately shop for
content/services as they desire, rather than being forced into set schedules,
catalogs, and plans. The solution will also allow third-party service providers
to launch and retire content/services and view receivables/settlements in real
time.
The Satyam Telecom Practice’s participation in the Sandbox program is
another indication of its commitment to developing and implementing strategically
focused, niche solutions for next-generation telecommunications services. It
is also illustrates the practice’s efforts to leverage its strengths
in BSS/OSS, portals, and analytics.
