TeleManagement World – Nice, France – May 21, 2007

Atreus Systems and BEA Systems Partner to Streamline the Delivery of Next Generation Telecom Services

Alliance integrates Atreus xAuthority with BEA Liquid Services Framework in order to Help Reduce the Time and Cost to Deploy Voice, Data and Multimedia Services

TeleManagement World – Nice, France – May 21, 2007 – Atreus Systems™, a leading supplier of provisioning software for VoIP and IMS-based services, today announced a strategic alliance with BEA Systems, Inc., a world leader in enterprise and communications infrastructure software, to build a Service Oriented Architecture-based integration between the Atreus xAuthority™ IP Provisioning Solution and the BEA Liquid Services Framework. Atreus and BEA are joining forces to help service providers accelerate service rollout on a global basis.

The integrated Atreus-BEA solution will offer providers a flexible and scalable environment that encompasses all aspects of business process management, including process modeling, implementation, execution and monitoring. By optimizing the entire business process lifecycle, the joint solution will empower service providers to develop and deploy revenue-generating VoIP, mobile, and IMS applications rapidly and cost-effectively.

Leveraging industry standards, such as OSS/J and eTOM, Atreus and BEA aim to help providers migrate from today’s vertically integrated provisioning systems to a flexible and extensible service oriented architecture — an essential prerequisite for the successful delivery of IP and IMS-based services. The adoption of this architecture enables service providers to rapidly roll out next-generation services while leveraging and protecting their existing investments.

The Atreus-BEA alliance is designed to give service providers a wide range of compelling service management benefits including:

rapid definition and deployment of services at a low cost;
flexible, standards-based integration reducing time-to-market and cost-of-integration;
compatibility with emerging, SOA-based back-office architectures ;
reusable service components;
proven interoperability with leading platforms and systems; and
rapid return on network investment by simplifying and speeding service deployment.

"The Atreus-BEA alliance will present operators with new and significant opportunities for revenue growth by enabling the rapid creation and delivery of innovative services," said Mike McHugh, vice president and general manager of BEA WebLogic Communications Platform, BEA Systems. "By integrating Atreus’ industry-leading provisioning and self-service interfaces with the BEA Liquid Services Framework, BEA and Atreus will help operators greatly reduce the costs of development and improve time-to-market for next-generation services.”

“Working with an industry leader like BEA will give our joint customers powerful capabilities to quickly define, deploy, and reuse advanced network capabilities using a repeatable and predictable process that bridges systems, services and users,” said Andrea Baptiste, president and CEO, Atreus Systems. “Using standards-based interfaces and integration, Atreus’ flow-through provisioning solutions, coupled with BEA based SOA, will empower operators to increase the top line and improve the cost efficiency of their offerings.”
