Clarity International, a global supplier of next-generation Operational Support Systems (OSS), has signed a multi-million-dollar contract with Indonesian tier one telecommunications service provider PT Telkom.

PT Telkom selected Clarity OSS apparently after an extensive international search. PT Telkom was seeking world-best technology to unify and improve its services across all its products while reducing operational costs.

Clarity chief executive Dr Tomislav Matiae said the $6.3 million PT Telkom contract was the fourth enterprise-wide OSS deal won by Clarity this year. He said Clarity was the first new-generation OSS to be deployed end-to-end by tier one telecommunications service providers across all lines of business.

“This contract reinforces Clarity’s belief that telecommunications service providers require a single pre-integrated OSS, rather than a complex mix of multiple best-of-breed solutions that are difficult and expensive to integrate and operate,” he said.

“Ultimately, multiple vendor models may deliver strong technical performance, but they are inevitably time-consuming and poor value for businesses.”

PT Telkom chief information officer Indra Utoyo said the company chose Clarity’s pre-integrated OSS to fully automate its communications network following a detailed evaluation process.

“As Indonesia’s largest information communications company, it is imperative that we continue to provide the highest levels of service to our customers while driving down costs in our operations to retain our competitive advantage,” Mr Utoyo said.

“Clarity OSS, once deployed, will give us full visibility of our network, enable us to cater for future growth in subscriber volumes through its inherent scalability, and ensure we are in a position to deliver accurate and timely quality service and fulfilment to our customers.”

Dr Matiae said the PT Telkom contract followed a number of deals this year, including:
– Selection by Indonesia’s Hutchison PT Hutchison CP Telecommunications and its prime systems integrator, Tech Mahindra, to provide highly scalable real-time provisioning of mobile services
– Signing a multi-million-dollar licence deal with Telekom Malaysia Berhad for Clarity’s convergent inventory system
– Being chosen by Philippine Long Distance Telecom as the strategic OSS platform for the transition of its fixed-line network to a next-generation network
