Title: Ontology Systems at AfricaCom 2010 Post by: RealWire on October 26, 2010, 08:03:56 PM As Ontology Systems prepares for a busy show at AfricaCom 2010 in Cape Town next month with a full agenda at the event, the increasing momentum of their powerful semantic data alignment tool, OSS/CAD, is proving to be the preferred solution African service providers are using OSS/CAD to unify and align customers and services across their OSS/BSS.
Since its launch in May 2008, OSS/CAD has been deployed with service provides in Africa including Internet Solutions and Neotel, and is generating a huge amount of interest across the entire region. Using powerful semantic technologies proven in fields such as military intelligence, OSS/CAD is enabling CSPs to identify key things in their OSS/BSS data (such as customers and services) instead of simply matching strings – and without the delay, risk and cost of a traditional integration. Benedict Enweani, Ontology’s CEO, commented: “We are pleased that OSS/CAD is able to play such a key role for service providers in the region and that the communications industry in Africa is recognizing OSS/CAD's groundbreaking capabilities.” Enweani continued: “Few CSPs trust the integrity of their systems and, with $20B being spent annually spent on integration projects, it is clear that the traditional integration approach is just not keeping up. OSS/CAD is dramatically reversing this trend, aligning and joining existing raw dirty OSS/BSS data without the delay, risk and cost of traditional integration.” During the conference this year Ontology executives will be meeting with African service providers, vendors and industry leaders throughout the conference. Enweani concluded saying: “We are looking forward to meeting communication industry leaders from across the region to further understand their challenges and discussing how OSS/CAD can help.” For further information, or to arrange a meeting with Ontology representative, please contact [email protected] or visit www.ontology.com |
