Software Vendors

No OSS/BSS software is an island. OSS/BSS software needs to integrate to other pieces of OSS/BSS software, to other business systems, to network devices or all of the above. As a vendor of OSS/BSS products, you know the sizeable investment that is made every year on specialized and customized interfaces to handle these integrations – for both new integration points and maintenance of old ones. Imagine if a large chunk of that money was freed up because customized interfaces became a thing of the past. Imagine the product enhancements and new features you could add to your core products……

With Service Providers often working to fixed budgets, a significant element of that budget is consumed by the professional services associated with integrating the solution into the SP’s OSS/BSS environment. The result is lower return (and lower investment) on the solution i.e. the application. Prosspero interfaces reduce the professional services costs thus directing more budget to where the real value of the solution, to both the supplier and customer, really lies.

And imagine if this is what service providers are asking you to do – to build software with Prosspero-approved interfaces to simplify integration.

With Prosspero, this vision can become a reality. Prosspero enables high confidence development of OSS/BSS software with standard interfaces that are high priority to service providers, proven to work in commercial environments, and packaged to enable rapid software development.

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 OSS/BSS 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.
  • reduced professional services costs associated with deploying a solution.
  • increased profitability on customer deals through resale of standard 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 products.
  • an opportunity to make your products shine, through renewed focus on advanced features vs. development of non-standard interfaces.
  • shorter time and cost of product delivery through reuse of development artifacts across multiple projects.
  • improved systems integration effectiveness through reuse of test collateral.
  • nteresting and varied work for software developers by allowing them to focus on new features and functions rather than interface creation and maintenance.
