Summary
Jersey Telecom has been working closely with Cerillion Technologies to support the telecoms needs of consumers and businesses in the Channel Islands since 1992. A relatively wealthy population and being renowned for offshore businesses particularly in the finance sector, means that Jersey Telecom must provide a first-class customer experience and a leading edge set of services to a very demanding customer base. The close co-operation with Cerillion has provided Jersey Telecom with a fully convergent CRM & Billing solution for more than 80,000 customers and supporting a comprehensive array of fixed, mobile and convergent services.

Challenges
Originally the sole operator, Jersey Telecom now operates in a highly competitive market in Jersey through the arrival of 2 new mobile operators, and has also expanded to provide a full set of mobile services on neighbouring Guernsey, under the Wave Telecom brand.

Key challenges for the business support systems included:

  • Managing a broad range of Fixed, GSM, GPRS, 3G, ADSL, ISDN and Leased line services through a single CRM & Billing solution
  • Support the operation of Jersey Telecom retail shops
  • Fully integrated workflow for order management, provisioning and collections
  • Efficient interconnect partner management
  • Managing operations for both Jersey and Guernsey on the same system

Cerillion Solution
The solution at Jersey Telecom is made up of the following components in the pre-integrated Cerillion suite, deployed on an HP/Oracle platform:

Results
Since the first system was installed in 1992, Jersey Telecom has undertaken regular upgrades to the Cerillion system, introducing many new features and continually improving their operational procedures.

Bob Lawrence, Chief Executive of Jersey Telecoms: “The strength of Cerillion lies in the number of business areas that are covered by the standard product. For operators that cannot afford to pay or wait for solutions that involve integrating separate billing, customer care, payments, collections and workflow management systems, Cerillion Technologies offers a fast, efficient, and cost effective alternative”.
