Ceon Launches ‘Rapid Product Modelling’ Service to Accelerate Product Management Transformation
Published 30th April 2008
April 28, 2008 – Redwood City, California. Ceon today announced the launch of its innovative Rapid Product Modelling (RPM) service. The Ceon RPM service enables Communication Service Provider business executives to quickly, easily, and more importantly, economically, take the required initial steps to begin the product management transformation process across their enterprise.
Line-of-business executives within communications service providers have recognised the strategic imperative to transform their enterprise product management processes to support the rapid delivery of differentiated converged products. Furthermore, most have recognised the need to eventually adopt purpose-built product lifecycle management (PLM) and product catalogue solutions.
These executives recognise that taking a strategic approach to product management will increase their competitiveness, and adoption of full-featured product lifecycle and catalogue management solutions will enable them to speed-up, streamline and simplify the development, launch, configuration and management of their products.
Given the scale of the overall challenge, operator business executives face a variety of organisational, process and IT system roadblocks. In most cases, these business executives do not have a clear idea on how to get started down the transformation path.
Ceon RPM is the answer. RPM is a ‘fast start’ approach that serves as the proving ground and catalyst for mobilising the organisation in making the broader commitment and investment to execute the required product management initiatives.
As part of an RPM project, Ceon consultants will help the operator standardise how products are represented and modelled, map an agreed to subset of the operator’s existing products to the new standardised information model (TeleManagement Forum SID-based), and enable testing, viewing and validating the product structure and definitions by the relevant operator personnel involved in the project.
