Celona Evolve for Telecommunications
The need for application data migration have never been so important. The telecoms industry is going through a period of major transformation. Operators are rolling out next generation networks – such as HSPA and WiMAX – and unveiling triple and quad play offers.
Operators have little choice but to transform their business and OSS/BSS operations. Today’s subscribers expect to entertained any time, any place. They also demand excellent customer service.
Service providers are also turning inwards to improve their operations. They recognise that they need to become leaner and more agile to succeed in the marketplace. As a result, they are cutting costs, enhancing customer service and improving operational efficiency – key drivers to business transformation.
Current approaches to OSS/BSS migration
Managing these events involves migrating large volumes of often complex data across multiple business applications. Today’s OSS/BSS applications are highly interdependent and operate on a 24/7 basis. It can be high risk for operators to upgrade and migrate to new applications such as inventory management, billing and CRM without a flexible migration approach.
Unfortunately, traditional approaches to data migration – such as ETL and scripting – simply are not adequate for migrating data in this type of environment.
Celona solution
Celona is the leading provider of application data migration solutions to the telecoms industry. The Celona Evolve platform migrates data and synchronises it simultaneously between legacy and new applications in a zero downtime environment.
Celona Evolve also enables operators to manage the movement of users, data, applications and processes independently. This ensures that the complexities of process-dependent data are fully managed for today’s OSS/BSS applications.
Furthermore, Celona Evolve allows IT to manage every aspect of a data migration project with confidence and 360 degree visibility. Administrators can use graphic UI tools to model and control the migration of single – or multiple applications – simultaneously. The platform can be used to carry out data migrations involving CRM, billing and OSS Inventory management systems. In fact, it can be used to carry out data migration assignments involving practically any kind of system which spans the OSS/BSS environment.
