Omnix Launches Software-as-a-Service Offering to Extend Tier-1 Infrastructure Solution to Network Contractors and Tower Operators
LONDON-(Business Wire)-September 22, 2009 - Omnix Software, the UK-based provider of specialised project automation solutions for telecom infrastructure lifecycle management, today announced that it will be launching its new online service Omnix LIVE™ at The 2009 Wireless Infrastructure Show, Nashville, Tennessee. Omnix LIVE™ will enable contractors and tower operators to access best-practice project and property management functionality, previously only available to tier-1 operators, without the need for any upfront software or hardware investment.
Omnix LIVE™ will be available as a beta service from late October 2009 and will offer two Omnix service options that can be used together or in silo; Network Project Logistics (NPL) and Network Estates Management (NEM). NPL orchestrates project changes to the network to ensure an on-time and on-budget deployment of new network capacity or technology upgrades whilst NEM tracks costs and manages legal and permit frameworks related to all network sites. These enterprise grade applications now provide an innovative Web 2.0 user experience and integration to Google Maps provides visibility of all locations in the system via a familiar interface. Demonstrations of the new service will be available from Omnix Software’s Booth (#605) at The 2009 Wireless Infrastructure Show, which takes place from 21-24 September 2009 in Nashville.
Contractors will benefit from the increased efficiency that Omnix LIVE™ offers, enabling delivery of projects with tighter control of margins and improved communication and progress reporting to their operator clients. In addition, tower companies will be provided with clear visibility of available tower real estate to support their marketing and business development, whilst ensuring efficient administration and compliance to underlying legal obligations.
Omnix LIVE™ customers will benefit from best-practice business processes, pre-configured to support rapid deployment. Omnix Software is targeting the availability of the service within five days of contract signature. However, a competitive advantage of Omnix LIVE™ is that not only can the service be deployed quickly but it can also be tailored to meet the specific requirements of the business. As a hosted offering, the fees for the service are payable quarterly, determined by the number of active sites managed by Omnix LIVE™. Omnix Software plans to offer different levels of support service to meet the needs of outsourcers, contractors, tower operators and mobile operators.
William Tickner, CEO of Omnix Software, commented, “Omnix LIVE™ addresses a gap in the market between the customised infrastructure management solutions installed at tier-1 operators and in-house developed spreadsheet tools. With this solution we aim to deliver an industry first – a Pay As You Go web service with specialised out-of-the-box business processes and reporting capabilities backed by 10 years of industry best practice experience, to support contractors and tower companies in delivering tier-1 service levels to their clients, the mobile operator community. The business case for Omnix LIVE™ is compelling and simple - a rapid and affordable deployment that directly assists in delivering projects on time and within budget from day one.”
He continues: “Omnix LIVE™ provides an overview of all current network management projects and property acquisition processes. Those in jeopardy can be dynamically flagged early on and problems resolved before creating client issues. In addition, the accurate visibility of tower assets and capacity to maximise revenue from available real estate is an essential tool for tower operators’ profitability management in the current economic climate.”
The Omnix software platform has been well proven over the 10 years that it has been helping tier-1 operators to build, upgrade and maintain telecom sites worldwide.
Omnix LIVE™ will be available in Q1 2010 following beta trials in Q4, 2009.
