Tribold to Debate the Impact of Product Lifecycle Management and Service Delivery Platforms at SDP Global Summit 2007

Catherine Michel, CTO at Tribold to present on Extending the Lifecycle of Services

London, UK, 10th September 2007:  Catherine Michel, CTO at Tribold and TeleManagement Forum advisory board member, will discuss the synergy between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) at Informa’s SDP Global Summit 2007.

Held in Frankfurt between 18th and 20th September, the SDP Global Summit will bring together over 20 telecoms operators from around the globe, and present cutting-edge ideas at the forefront of the SDP discussion. 

Tribold’s presentation will focus on the relationship between PLM and the SDP, particularly covering:
•   PLM in the context of Business Support Systems (BSS)
•   The value proposition of PLM
•   Supporting an end-to-end seamless product selection with PLM
•   Service management and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functions of the                 
   SDP   
•   Assessing the ability of the SDP to extend lifecycles of services
•   Discussing synergies to enable consumer-driven, on-demand customer selection

The presentation will be an innovative view on the SDP topic, presented from the PLM perspective.  Michel said: “As first movers in the market, we have been very active in defining product management standards, and only now are Communication Service Providers (CSP) fully realizing the potential such a solution offers.”

“The issues surrounding the SDP and PLM are intrinsically linked, and a clear understanding of the relationship will allow CSPs to realize a practical and effective implementation of efficient product management.”

Catherine will also be speaking at the 4th Annual Return on Investment in Convergence Conference in Prague on 25th September 2007.
