Parasun Technologies Inc., a leading provider of software solutions for advanced IP communications service configuration, activation, and network management, introduced their new Operations Support System (OSS) at their annual Customer Conference last month in Vancouver, BC. The Parasun OSS4 revolutionizes the way small and mid-tier network operators provision and manage their broadband services by providing a comprehensive suite of software tools that automate service configuration and activation processes, and equips operators with important network management data. Network operators can create a variety of services models that support both monthly recurring connections such as residential and commercial services, and ad hoc connections for short-term or transient users such as in hotels or wireless hotspots. The new modular OSS platform is also more flexible for integrating with third-party software applications such as subscriber billing software, and third-party service partners such as VoIP Service Providers
"The data side of our business has grown more than we ever imagined it could, largely due to the support we've received from Parasun and their advanced provisioning and management software over the past five years", said Steve Sizemore, Director of Advanced Services for CMA Communications. "The new OSS4 enables us to expand our data service offerings even further, and at a level of expediency that will allow us to realize additional revenue in a very short amount of time. Without the OSS4, we would be unable to take advantage of new market opportunities, such as VoIP, campus and wireless services, and grow our data business in an efficient and profitable manner."
"The OSS4 functions as an IP service provisioning and management engine that works with other systems, such as billing, VoIP and other third party software, to create a single integrated platform for broadband network operators to manage and grow their data service businesses," said Mike Schmidt, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Parasun Technologies Inc. "Without it, operators are required to use multiple software platforms and entering data in multiple locations, or go through large, costly software integration processes As companies grow their businesses to include new services, such as VoIP, wireless hotspots, and wired solutions like hotel, campuses, and multiple dwelling units (MDUs), they simply can't afford to the time and expense of training their staff to use a series of different software platforms. The OSS4 makes it possible to reduce those system and training costs by using a single authoritative platform to enter and manage the data."
Parasun's OSS4 is the next generation of the CableRocket Management System (CRMS), expanding on the same advanced provisioning and reporting tools that were available in the CRMS, including the popular bandwidth management, traffic shaping and alarming capabilities, but with added features such as mapping, custom dashboards, and the ability to integrate with billing providers for seamless, single-entry broadband provisioning and billing. The OSS4 is built for efficient integration with VoIP vendors and other third-party applications to create a totally integrated provisioning solution for network operators looking to expand their data services businesses with additional advanced communications offerings.
