As the telecom industry gets more competitive, so does the business of systems integration for telecom service providers. Using Prosspero approved interfaces in your projects will help you drive costs and risks down by reducing one-off work, reducing project time, and allowing for repeatability and reuse across projects. With Prosspero interfaces, once resources come up the learning curve, they are trained and ready for future projects.

And while standardizing interfaces may be a reduction in the revenue from low level integration work it is likely to lead to increased budget for the higher level application integration work which is where the SP sees the real value of projects. It will provide the opportunity to broaden focus from basic integration of network elements and information exchanges between applications to include higher end, higher margin new and innovative business-facing offerings to clients. With Prosspero enabling much easier integration between systems, service providers will now be able to tackle new projects that they simply did not have time for resources for before, such as automation of new sets of business processes.

In addition, Prosspero itself represents a business opportunity for systems integrators by becoming part of the Prosspero ecosystem. Many of the requirements for TM Forum work to become Prosspero approved are the kinds of work that system integrators commonly undertake, such as building interfaces, designing reference implementations, and teaching training classes. You can make Prosspero happen.
