(PRWEB) August 1, 2003 -- ORMvision N.V., the software provider that enables telecommunications operators to collaborate in a more efficient and standardised fashion, today announced that Cable & Wireless, the global telecommunications group, is to use its ORMcenter software.

ORMcenter is a system designed to streamline communication and collaboration between operations departments of interconnected telecommunication operators, service providers and suppliers. The system manages end-to-end quality of service (QoS) and service level agreements (SLA) by ensuring that areas like leased line provisioning or fault reports are acted upon speedily and effectively.

Utilising ORMcenters business process manager, language translation and order management modules, Cable & Wireless will be able to track and reference orders, taking into account existing KPIs (key performance indicators). This will provide full order control in the pre-sales process over several countries including Germany, Italy and France, despite differing processes and working methods employed in different countries and organisations.

Phil Church CEO of ORMvision said: The contract is great news for ORMvision. Our studies with the customer have highlighted the cost and operational benefits that our ORMcenter software will have on Cable & Wireless pre-sales and order management process, as well as enhancing revenue assurance. It is particularly pleasing that Cable & Wireless responded so positively to the new Enterprise model of ORMcenter, which was only released at the end of 2002. We now hope that other operators will start to implement ORMcenter as the focus on effective business process management has never been greater."
