Sigma Systems Scores First TM Forum Order Management API


Certification

Latest OSS/J Management Standard Provides First Common Interface for Order
Management Functionality for Next-generation Operators

NICE, FRANCE, May 19, 2010 Sigma Systems, an industry leader in Advanced IP
Service Fulfillment solutions, today announced at Management World 2010 that its
Service Management Platform has received the industrys first TM Forum certification
for Order Management API and Web Services-certified next-generation OSS (NGOSS)
framework. The certification establishes Sigma Systems as the first OSS provider to
fully interoperate with other certified BSS and CRM vendors.

The OSS/J order management API called Information Framework JSR-264 is the
only open standards-based API interface available for order management solution
providers. This new TM Forum API eases interoperability among back-office and CRM
vendors, resulting in speedier service rollouts, improved operational efficiencies and
reductions in deployment costs by as much as 30 percent.

We commend the TMF for helping to define a standards-based API that provides
consistent, yet flexible, abstraction between the OSS/BSS layers, said Brian
Cappellani, CTO and vice president of Engineering for Sigma Systems. Information
Framework JSR-264 will remove a major bottleneck that slows the introduction of new
services: interoperability among back-office solutions. By being the first IP service
fulfillment provider to achieve this certification, Sigma Systems uniquely gives
operators worldwide the choice to deploy a best-of-breed order management solution
for multi-play bundles and next-gen services.

Sigma Systems portfolio of service fulfillment solutions for telecom and cable
operators also enables the provisioning, activation and management of integrated IP-
based services, including digital TV/IPTV, residential and business VoIP, broadband
and mobile offerings. Core to Sigma Systems' end-to-end service fulfillment solutions
is its award-winning and SOA-based Service Management Platform. Sigma Systems
SMP allows next-generation operators to move services out of silo-based
environments and onto a single service platform, enabling them to deploy new
services quickly, create service bundles and identify up-sell opportunities.

The TM Forum develops widely-adopted management standards for OSS/BSS vendors


and communications service providers and delivers worldwide awareness and training
events. The forum provides practical solutions, guidance and leadership to transform
the way next generation service providers and network operators create, deliver and
charge for digital services.
