With more and more service providers considering Element Management and Network management systems as “a given” in contracts for network equipment, not only is there little or no profit in the supply of the systems, in many cases the cost of the EMS comes directly off of the bottom line of the contract. There is therefore increasing pressure to reduce the cost of developing and deploying equipment management systems. Prosspero solutions not only reduce the cost of development of OSS and BSS products but also the cost of integrating these systems into an SP’s environment.

Never be left out of a deal again because of software integration. Offering Prosspero approved standard interfaces to service providers will remove the hurdle of lengthy software integration from your system offerings. You can expand your market by offering easy integration into any ISV or OSS/BSS environment that offers Prosspero approved interfaces. And you can save money on development, too. No more custom interfaces to integrate into a home grown or ISV proprietary interface. Service providers are demanding standards for basic systems integration and you can meet their needs by using TM Forum standards with the Prosspero stamp of approval.

Prosspero makes possible:

• full lifecycle product cost reduction due to substantially reduced customization requirements and reduced maintenance expenditures on custom interfaces.
• the ability to supply service providers with exactly what they are asking for in an RFP with no doubt about what is being requested and what will be delivered.
• the possibility of fitting into more and more service provider network environments
• the ability to take on an increasing number of deals without stretching development and deployment resources too thinly
• decreased risk in deployment situations, knowing that your interfaces are ready to plug into other Prosspero-based solutions.
• increased profitability on customer deals through resale of standard EMS software to multiple accounts.
• the opportunity to invest in a robust, high quality interface and share the cost of development across multiple deployments, improving your EMS products
• shorter time and cost of product delivery through reuse of development artifacts across multiple projects.
• improved systems integration effectiveness through reuse of test collateral.
