De-risk Your Transformation
Cerillion has an impressive track record of successful project deliveries over the past 25 years. The foundation for this success is the Cerillion Implementation Methodology, which is built on a heritage of Systems Integration projects tempered with pragmatism based on experience of successful BSS/OSS solution implementations.
One of the major critical success factors in any implementation is maximising understanding between Cerillion and our clients. To be successful this is maintained throughout the project lifecycle through frequent reviews and open, honest communications. Success is therefore linked not only to a structured project approach, but also detailed workshops and consulting with clients early in the project to maximise mutual understanding.
Initial workshops focus on requirements analysis, infrastructure and installation analysis, migration strategy (if applicable), configuration and interface details, with all the information collated into a number of detailed plans and requirements documents which drive the overall implementation.
Cerillion has a wealth of experience in migration projects including big bang replacements, phased migrations, and converging from multiple separate systems into a single Cerillion solution. This experience has enabled us to build up a robust set of tools and processes to manage this mission critical service. Our proven methodology tackles all major migration challenges including business processes and staff training, systems integration, and of course the data migration itself.
BSS/OSS implementation services cover the planning, configuration, integration, data migration and deployment activities required to introduce a new BSS/OSS platform successfully.
A structured implementation brings together Cerillion, the communications service provider and, where applicable, its delivery partners to understand business and technical requirements, establish a clear plan and manage the transformation through to go-live.
Cerillion begins each implementation with detailed workshops covering areas such as business requirements, infrastructure, system installation, data migration, product configuration and interfaces.
The findings are captured in detailed plans and requirements documents that guide the implementation. Frequent reviews and open communication throughout the project help maintain a shared understanding between everyone involved, enabling issues and decisions to be addressed early.
Cerillion can lead BSS/OSS implementations directly or work alongside systems integrators and other delivery partners, depending on the needs of the customer and the structure of the wider transformation programme.
A Cerillion-led implementation gives customers direct access to specialists with deep knowledge of the software and extensive experience of delivering BSS/OSS transformations. This reduces hand-offs, supports faster decision-making and provides clear accountability for delivery.
Where a systems integrator is involved, Cerillion works collaboratively with the partner, contributing the product expertise needed to configure, integrate and deploy the platform successfully.
The Cerillion Implementation Methodology combines a structured project approach with practical experience gained from successful BSS/OSS implementations.
Early analysis, detailed documentation, regular project reviews and close collaboration help establish clear requirements and identify potential challenges before they affect delivery. Direct involvement from Cerillion’s product specialists also ensures that important design and configuration decisions are informed by a detailed understanding of the software, whether Cerillion is leading the implementation or working with a delivery partner.
Yes. Systems integration forms an important part of the Cerillion implementation process. During the initial workshops, Cerillion works with the customer and its delivery partners to understand the systems and interfaces involved and incorporate the resulting integration requirements into the implementation plan.
Cerillion’s product specialists help ensure that integrations make effective use of the platform’s standard capabilities and interfaces, avoiding unnecessary complexity and supporting long-term maintainability.
Cerillion has experience of a range of data migration approaches, including big-bang replacements, phased migrations and the consolidation of multiple legacy systems into a single Cerillion platform.
Its migration methodology combines proven tools and processes with detailed planning for data, systems integration, business processes and user training. The appropriate approach is determined by the customer’s existing environment, transformation objectives and operational requirements.
