Visionael Launches Discovery Reconciliation Manager Solution
for the Cable Market
Only integrated end-to-end solution that provides network discovery, capacity and service planning for increased business uptime and reduced cost
NCTA's The Cable Show 2007
Booth 5070
Las Vegas, NV - May 8, 2007 -- At the Cable Show, Visionael Corporation, a leading provider of next-generation service automation and delivery management software and services, today announced its Discovery Reconciliation Manager (DRM) that gives cable providers new insight into their network. The DRM, together with Visionael's Service Automation Suite, is the only complete, integrated end-to-end solution that provides network discovery, capacity and service planning. This provides a more accurate, real-time inventory of networks devices, significantly reducing overall costs and increasing business uptime.
Building on its IP heritage and successful track record helping service providers and managed service providers discover and validate key equipment deployments, Visionael's DRM now allows cable providers to automate the roll out of multiple services with increased accuracy and efficiency. The DRM provides automated discovery of network information to ensure that a rapid and accurate view of the network is held in the inventory system. As a result, time is no longer spent manually auditing the network, or reworking errors which saves time and reduces implementation and maintenance costs.
In today's competitive environment, MSOs need to offer new revenue generating triple play services. These video, voice and data services demand an up-to-date OSS to provide rapid, high volume, low cost automated service fulfillment that works immediately upon installation. Otherwise, existing and new processes could produce rapid, high volume errors that typically require manual intervention, wiping out productivity gains.
The deep network inventory capability of the DRM solution provides significant value for cable operators that are faced with the challenge of providing services on networks that are in a state of constant change. The DRM is specially developed to detect network elements in multi-vendor environments that can result from multiple acquisitions, and provide integrated reporting into a single GUI. This enables MSOs to increase customer satisfaction through uniform, timely service fulfilment.
"As the cable industry continues to increase the number and complexity of services that are offered, it is critical for them to have a system in place that allows them to quickly update and manage equipment on the network," said Craig Nichols, president and CEO of Visionael. "Our new DRM solution gives cable providers an easy and effective way to deliver new services to all of their customers without any limitations arising from their ever-changing networks."
Visionael's new DRM solutions also significantly reduce capital expenditures by automatically identifying stranded network equipment and exposing hidden network and infrastructure capacity. Moreover, MSOs can now make network expansion decisions based on more accurate information.
The benefits of Visionael's DRM to MSOs include:
- Deliver services right the first time, increasing competitiveness via an accurate view of the network
- Automating the gathering, validation and storage of network information
- Identify stranded assets and put them back into service
- Discover and validate key equipment for financial accounting purposes
- Fix fulfilment fallout when errors occur in the network; DRM analyzes and identifies unplanned network changes
- Reduce costs by providing complete and accurate network views and streamlined integration with productized vertical solutions
- Reduce risk via Visionael productized solutions and end-to-end management
- Shorten change management cycles by more quickly integrating newly acquired assets or decommissioning old ones
