Tribold Launches US Operation at TeleManagement World, Dallas
Tribold , the UK-based product lifecycle management software developer, is to launch its US operation at the TeleManagement Forum World conference in Dallas. Tribold's enables communications service providers (CSPs) to reduce the time to market of their products by up to 12 months.
Tribold will be exhibiting at the TeleManagement World exhibition in Dallas, Texas, (7-10 November, 2005) where on 9 November at 10:45 the company's co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Catherine Michel, will be sharing a speaker podium with leading management consultant firm, McKinsey. Delegates will be able to hear about how to cut the complexity of bringing new products and services to market, speeding up their offerings and stealing a march on the competition.
Tribold has already engaged with clients in the US, but TeleManagement World officially marks its arrival in the North American market. Tribold will be showcasing the capabilities of its flagship Product Portfolio ManagerT software, complete with customer case studies.
"The communications industry is changing - and fast. CSPs are becoming retailers in their own right, with the same level of commoditization that we would traditionally associate with the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market," said Simon Muderack, CEO of Tribold. "TeleManagement World offers product managers to come and talk to us about how to bring products to market quicker and attain complete visibility over the lifecycle of their products from inception to retirement. We see incredible potential for growth in this market among North American providers."
Tribold Product Portfolio ManagerT software Release 2.1 reduces time to market by up to 12 months. This provides customers with a significant competitive edge, greatly simplifying what is currently an expensive, time consuming and people intensive process when bringing new products to market. It helps them to be more strategic and monitor the performance of products once released.
In October 2004, the company launched Tribold Product Portfolio Manager (PPM) - the first communications industry-specific, packaged enterprise application for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Product Data Management (PDM) with capabilities including:
• Centralized product catalogue - one single truth - a 360° view of products across the enterprise supporting control and reuse of products
• Out of the box, world-class product lifecycle management process
• Automated integration of product data across all enterprise applications supported by out-of-the-box integration
• The ability to proactively offer customer self-selection of targeted product package and bundle propositions
• Tracking of true cost and profitability of products throughout the lifecycle
• Closed-loop automated retirement of products from the marketplace
Tribold Product Portfolio Manager Release 2.1 enterprise software application gives communications providers enhanced central management of the enterprise's product portfolio data throughout the product lifecycle. Tribold PPM Release 2.1 consolidates the product management process into a single, automated, error-resilient stream where customers will be able to benefit from:
• World-class analytics and reporting capabilities
• Enhanced suite of off-the-shelf third party application integration adaptors
• Increased user security and data management, including full rollback and backup, capabilities
• Unparalleled enhanced business user experience
• Enhanced market leading automated closed-loop PLM process
• Full regulatory (TMF eTom/SID) compliance
Tribold's Product Portfolio Manager manages the key elements of product launch: design, build, launch, in-life management, retirement and analysis. Deploying Tribold technology reduces time to market, increases customer retention, enables effective management, improves competitive edge and drives revenues.
"In such a cutthroat market as the communications sector, never has it been more essential to remain one step ahead of the competition and drive new products to customers. Tribold Product Portfolio Manager empowers communications providers to deliver this," Mr Muderack said.
