Cerillion’s Evergreen Software Model is also pioneering Software-as-a-Service in the BSS/OSS market, by making major software releases available on a regular six-monthly cycle, but with customers still able to control and manage the upgrade process in a private cloud or on-premises deployment.

“Increasing competition from both traditional telecoms providers and newer digital services providers means that we must continue to evolve our BSS/OSS capabilities to stay ahead in our markets,” commented Sutha Siva, COO of Manx Telecom. “By moving to Cerillion 8 and the Evergreen Software Model, we are making a step-change in our capabilities now and crucially future-proofing our business for the challenges of tomorrow.”

“The increasing pace of change in the industry means that telcos must have the means to continually upgrade their capabilities and adapt to new demands,” added Louis Hall, CEO, Cerillion. “Manx Telecom is a long-standing Cerillion customer and we are delighted to be helping them stay at the forefront of innovation by extending our partnership with this new five-year deal.”
