Oracle announces general availability of Oracle Communications Digital Business Experience, a pre-integrated business support system (BSS). Designed to meet the needs of telecommunications service providers (CSPs), the solution offers comprehensive tools to help manage customer experiences and drive revenue at every stage of the customer journey. This end-to-end solution supports any line of business, enabling CSPs to simplify implementation complexity and reduce costs.

With this launch, Oracle is unlocking access to advanced cloud services and providing a solid technology foundation on which CSPs can further grow and rapidly innovate new services.
“Telcos are digitizing their businesses and investing in capabilities that help them better serve their B2C and B2B customer base,” said John Abraham, principal analyst at Appledore Research, a telecommunications consulting firm. “As they strive to deliver a ‘digital native’-like customer experience, companies need end-to-end solutions that can help them deliver personalized experiences with minimal human intervention and seamlessly manage complex process flows, such as the handoff from central order management (COM) to service order management (SOM).”

Integrating these cutting-edge capabilities can help CSPs increase revenue, deliver personalized customer experiences, and remain agile and efficient as they explore new market opportunities.
“Oracle Digital Business Experience makes it easier than ever for both traditional network services and vertical service providers to automate the delivery of new offerings and experiences to their customers,” said Andrew Morawski, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications. “Regardless of the path they take, Oracle’s new offering, powered by industry-leading CRM capabilities, gives providers the advantage of AI-powered applications and services to support a wide range of use cases, from concept to fulfillment.”

This includes long-time Oracle partner Accenture, which is also collaborating with Oracle Communications to help CSPs leverage the new solution and take advantage of Oracle’s AI services.
