Clarity Upgrades OSSClarity Upgrades OSS

SYDNEY -- Clarity, the telecommunication industry's Operational Support System (OSS) business process automation company, today introduced Clarity 10 (C10). Uniquely designed to map the network to the service and the customer, five tier one operators are already preparing to implement the product between April and June 2007. C10 is the first carrier grade OSS to offer a tightly integrated provisioning, inventory, service assurance and workforce management solution on a single unified platform.

Clarity has introduced this product to meet operators' movement towards aligning their business model on customer line, rather than product and service offerings. Offering a single database for fulfilment and assurance, C10 users can track all aspects of their system with ease. The product is highly scalable, designed to rationalise the number of IT platforms, consequently lowering infrastructure and capital expenses, as well as reducing time to market.

For improved efficiency, C10's new Internet based customer web portal offers network engineers and end telco consumers a near real-time view of network performance and SLA delivery. Other additions include a tightly integrated workforce management module ensuring seamless, real-time connectivity with the mobile workforce as well as auto-discovery and IP number management capability. C10 offers automation and support for IPTV, next generation networks and legacy systems on a single platform, ensuring effective end to end business processes for service fulfilment and service assurance..

C10 is based on a service-orientated architecture (SOA) and web services, making integration easier, more scaleable and cost effective to users.

"The majority of our customers offer convergent services, across a mixture of legacy and next generation networks. It is imperative that these two systems can operate together on a single platform," said Scott Neylon, Vice President for R&D, Clarity. "Clarity's C10 product suite demonstrates our continuing commitment to reducing customer network and service roll-out costs, by ensuring we continue to offer the world's leading end to end solution."
