Accelerate your time-to-market

Cerillion Enterprise Product Catalogue is a powerful,

standalone platform for building, launching and
managing all your products, services, tariffs and
packages.
In an increasingly competitive telecoms industry, fast time-to-market is now more
important than ever as communications services providers (CSPs) must compete
with a new wave of digital services providers (DSPs) that are offering their services
“Over-The-Top” and direct to telco customers. CSPs need the flexibility and agility to
accelerate their product development cycles and quickly build, test and launch new
products and packages.

OVERVIEW

Cerillion Enterprise Product Catalogue is an intuitive product management solution

that enables CSPs to rapidly build, test and deploy new products based on reusable
components and templates. It allows business users to build once and then control
the publishing to multiple target systems, for example test and production systems,
as well as other Cerillion modules or for integration with third party systems.
Enterprise Product Catalogue is a unified solution for managing all your products,
tariffs, rental charges, balances, packages and network services using a single
intuitive web application.
 KEY BENEFITS

Faster time-to-market
Enterprise Product Catalogue gives you the power to take on OTT providers at their own
game, by enabling a “fail fast” and “succeed quickly” approach to product launches.
Products and packages can be rapidly configured based on reusable components and
templates, using the powerful publishing rules to dramatically reduce the time to
transition from test to launch and ensuring data integrity on your production system(s).

Designed for business users

Enterprise Product Catalogue puts your business users in firm control of the product
lifecycle, removing the dependency on IT to implement new products and packages, and
enabling your commercial team(s) to conceive new offerings safe in the knowledge of
how they can be built. The intuitive user interface offers comprehensive version control
and publishing flexibility, as well as templates for faster product configuration, virtual
fields for extending the data model and straightforward tools for importing and exporting
data.

Easier integration
Enterprise Product Catalogue includes a powerful publishing engine which controls how
and when catalogues are published to downstream systems. The system uses a generic
XML interface for integrating with other Cerillion modules as well as 3rd party BSS and
OSS systems, enabling a unified catalogue for all products and services across the
enterprise.
 Cerillion gives us Tier 1 technology that allows
us to compete head-to-head with the most
innovative of mobile network operators, so we can
carve out market share with MVNO brands that are
not necessarily experienced in mobile or fixed
communications.

PRINCIPAL FEATURES
User friendly
pricing innovation
The definition and
maintenance of products
and tariffs is at the heart of
Enterprise Product
Catalogue. The product and
tariff structure has been
designed to be as flexible as
possible, so as to provide
the building blocks which
provide CSP marketing
departments with the
freedom to innovate. The
strategy for achieving this is
to provide many different
charging mechanisms and
to impose very few
limitations on how these
can be combined when
constructing products and
targeting offers at specific
groups of customers.
Templates
Enterprise Product
Catalogue uses templates
to enable easy re-use of
existing product definitions,
and package creation based
on typical use cases for your
business. The system comes
pre-configured with
example templates to
enable easy product
definition.
Rapid prototyping
Enterprise Product
Catalogue provides the
flexibility of creating a
prototype structure without
adding mandatory field
values. This functionality is
useful when a structure
needs to be created as a
placeholder or as a
reference point, including
all the required linkages
and hierarchy, but with field
values omitted. This
prototype can be saved as a
template and can be used
again at a later point of
time when the required
values are finalised.
Multiple publish
targets
Core to Enterprise Product
Catalogue is a
comprehensive workflow
engine which controls the
publishing of new and
updated products to
multiple target systems. A
user builds new and
changed product and rate
definitions, then pushes
those definitions to one or
more end-points. This
allows CSPs to define a
product once; publish to a
test environment; then
validate the product
definition meets
requirements; before
publishing to a production
environment without
extensive re-work. Different
validation rules can be
specified for each target
system, ensuring data
integrity is maintained
across all systems.
Project-based
configuration
Configuration in Enterprise
Product Catalogue is based
around the concept of
Projects. This allows
multiple different parallel
streams of product
management, each with
defined lifecycles and end-
points. All changes to
Projects are fully versioned
and audited, with access
controlled on a per-user
basis.
Bulk actions
Enterprise Product
Catalogue supports bulk
actions for commonly
carried out tasks. For
example, creating a new
Tariff Package as a copy of
Intuitive user interface
Enterprise Product Catalogue provides a powerful visualisation of product structures and the
relationships between the components. Moreover, the application intuitively enforces these
relationships in the construction and management of products, ensuring the validity and data
integrity of the catalogue. Having this view enables CSPs to easily identify and address product
configuration issues before launching a new offering. The drag and drop interface also makes it
easy to launch new products and packages by reusing existing product components.

Enterprise Product
Catalogue provides the
flexibility to control user
access to various operations
via roles and permissions.
Roles can be created and
given certain access
permissions in terms of
creating, reading, and
deleting the catalogues and
entities, and then assigned
to various users.
Additionally, a role defines
page and feature access, for
example, access to
publication or validation.
