We are launching the Prosspero Recognition Program at Management World in Nice 2008.

Prosspero encourages mass-market adoption of standards by building standards specifications with the other elements of commercial products to provide a Productised Standards Package. Prosspero is a quality mark for a standards product package because the evaluation criteria are stringent and the standard must have a reference implementation to qualify for acceptance as a Prosspero product.

• This program is being introduced to provide an incentive to the companies to publicly support Prosspero and to drive the development of the ecosystem for the Prosspero solutions.
• 30 TM Forum Member companies - Service Providers, Software Vendors and Systems Integrators - have qualified for the Nice 2008 program which recognises contribution to the Prosspero ecosystem.
• There are various levels of recognition, which are specifically tied to the commitment of Prosspero adoption by a member company.
• The recognition program has four categories as follows: Prosspero adopter targeted at service providers; Prosspero vendor; Prosspero Systems Integrator and Prosspero community member.
• Each category further identifies a bronze, silver and gold recognition level each of which has measurable qualification criteria.
• Prosspero recognition is initially allocated to coincide with Management World in Nice. Thereafter, companies will be recognised immediately on meeting the qualifying criteria and may publicise their involvement immediately.
• The Prosspero Product and Program Managers will draw up the list of recipients who meet the criteria which will be approved by the VP of Collaboration Programs.
• TM Forum member companies will be eligible for the Program - Service Providers, Systems Integrators, and Vendors, who have either implemented one or more Prosspero-approved solutions, or have visibly contributed to the Prosspero community.
