Unterpremstätten, Austria, June 27th, 2008 - BearingPoint INFONOVA, BearingPoint's Near Shore Telco Solution Center based in Austria, today announced that it is going to launch Release 6 of its successful Infonova Next Generation BSS stack.
Telco's are under siege from all directions: operational / functional separation into netco/servco/salesco; margin squeeze; new services from all types of competitors: fixed, wireless, cable &

Webco's; & convergence expectations of customers. According to Telco 2.0, telco's need to adapt rapidly to exploit and integrate their core capabilities - communications, intelligence and information - with enterprise business processes, delivering high value through improved workflow and increased productivity.
According to IDC, "It's likely that Telco 2.0 will be the engine to drive the industry's growth over the next several years, but without the right BSS to support these initiatives, service providers may stall right out of the gate."

Infonova's BSS Release 6 is ready now to deliver Telco 2.0 functionality.
The latest version of the proven software suite delivers end-to-end Virtualization and White-Labeling of the Infonova Order-to-Cash environment. This provides the operator with the power to address the myriad of business opportunities created by the dramatically converging value chains of telco, media, ICT and e-commerce. Release 6 enables multiple independent brands to operate on one single BSS stack and includes highly automated functionality to add new brands & new sales channels.
The Infonova BSS Release 6 stack is a highly pre-integrated solution sitting on top of a SOA-aligned integration platform. The proven product family components cover the enhanced "Order-to-Cash 2.0" lifecycle: Platform and Business Management, Product Management, Customer Management, Order Management, Billing and Finance.
