(February 19, 2003 Ottawa, Canada) Eftia OSS Solutions, Inc. announces today the launch of a major new product for those looking for the next generation of enterprise automation capability. The product builds on Eftia's long history and experience in assisting telecom providers in solving the challenges of effective, cost conscious service management within their back offices around the world.
Ai²™ provides a robust framework that enables instant definition of critical business functions, for automation of activities that address critical problems in real time. Once the framework is in place, the configuration of catalogs and business rules is placed in the hands of the business domain experts - those that need the capabilities have control of the capabilities. This forms a strong teaming relationship between IT and users, and frees the IT team to focus on overall architecture and development of corporate-wide solutions strategies.
IT
teams will quickly find the development framework and engine functionality
of Ai²™ to be more powerful than other tools available. Adherence
to J2EE industry standards, an open architecture, inherent scalability and
the patented Action API © allow application development and integration
to be done in a fraction of traditional timeframes. The value of this technology
proves to be so powerful that the Ai²™ beta version has been creating
a lot of excitement around the globe by leading and most advanced service
providers.
"Eftia has a new product offering in our suite that adds a new dimension
for our customers." says Stephen Parker, CEO and Chairman of the Board
of Eftia. "Addressing both best-of-breed application needs and application
development framework requirements allows Eftia to provide effective, global
business solutions across multiple industries."
"Our investment in product solutions is unparalleled for the OSS and enterprise space." says Joe McKinnon, Eftia's EVP of Products and Services. "Our customers now have a choice on how to address their needs - buying an integrated OSS solution with the Master.Scribe suite of products, or building a solution powered by Ai²™ that enables immediate capability and instant response to ever-changing business needs."
Adds Cyril Soga, VP of Product Development at Eftia, "The product name we chose represents the power of what we can accomplish - adapting to a variety of business problems, effective instant solutions, and intelligent automation. And Ai²™ takes this capability even further - proactive problem analysis and assessment of data allows real-time actions to be taken based on business considerations."
