Cerillion (AIM: CER), a prominent provider of BSS/OSS-as-a-Service solutions for the telecoms industry, has reached a significant milestone by achieving “Ready for ODA” status from TM Forum for two of its flagship products. This latest achievement builds on Cerillion’s prior success in attaining Platinum certification in TM Forum’s Open API programme, underscoring the company’s industry leadership in interoperability and performance across live customer deployments.
TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) is revolutionising how Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and suppliers enhance agility, customer experience, and operational efficiency. By offering a streamlined blueprint for IT transformation, ODA simplifies integration, deployment, and upgrades, making it a critical enabler of digital transformation. The “Ready for ODA” accreditation serves as a recognised mark of excellence, verifying that a supplier’s solutions align with ODA’s rigorous standards. This validation process involves a thorough assessment of the supplier’s expertise in ODA implementation and contributions to its ongoing development.
Louis Hall, CEO of Cerillion, highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating, “Achieving ‘Ready for ODA’ status is a testament to our unwavering focus on delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower CSPs to innovate and scale with agility. By aligning our products with TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture, we are reinforcing our commitment to fostering collaboration, interoperability and streamlined operations for our customers worldwide.”
The two Cerillion products achieving this status are integral to the company’s broader digital transformation strategy. CRM Plus, a comprehensive omni-channel CRM solution, enables CSPs to enhance customer engagement, deliver personalised experiences, and manage the full customer lifecycle across B2C and B2B business models. Meanwhile, the Enterprise Product Catalogue leverages artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and image recognition to streamline product lifecycle management. It accelerates time-to-market for new services and facilitates the creation of complex bundled offerings with efficiency and ease.
Andy Tiller, EVP Products & Services at TM Forum, commended Cerillion’s achievement, stating, “We’re delighted that Cerillion CRM Plus and Cerillion Enterprise Product Catalogue have achieved the Ready for ODA accreditation. This is the result of strong commitment from Cerillion to implementing ODA’s standards and frameworks, and also their contributions to the development of ODA in TM Forum’s collaboration programmes. We believe collaboration is the key for our industry to thrive, and Cerillion are playing their part for the benefit of the whole telecoms IT ecosystem.”
