Ascom and Vodafone get TM Forum award
Ascom and Vodafone were awarded by the TM Forum with the Excellence Award of the category "Best Prosspero Implementation" for their common project "VINE" (Vodafone International Information Exchange). The prize was awarded to Ascom and Vodafone within the scope of a festive ceremony on May 19, 2008 during the Management World Congress in Nice.The VINE project, specified, realised and led by Ascom, enables the international exchange of Trouble Tickets based on the OSS/J standard of the TM Forum, both between Vodafone entities and with Vodafone partners and suppliers, independent of their local used Trouble Ticket technology. Due to the unified interface and the abolition of numerous point-to-point connections, the costs can be reduced significantly, the integration of new entities and suppliers can be accelerated and last but not least the service quality is increased.
Martin Creaner, President und CTO of TM Forum: "Implementing Prosspero interfaces, gives vendors and service providers the trust, standards and good practices that speed-up integration projects and reduce their risks. This major project between Vodafone and Ascom provides both parties with a winning solution. Congratulations on the project."
Michael Wallrath, Managing Director of Ascom Deutschland GmbH: "We are proud having won this price in onjunction with our customer Vodafone. It remunerates our longterm engagement in the area of the OSS/J standard and accentuates in particular the innovative Vodafone project "VINE", certainly belonging to the most interesting and exciting major projects in the OSS area."
