Description

The Blue Planet Intelligent Automation Portfolio represents a robust, open software suite designed to provide service providers with profound insights into their networks, thereby streamlining business processes that encompass both IT and Network functions and hastening the journey towards digital transformation. Legacy systems that rely on labor-intensive silos for IT and Network operations are becoming a thing of the past. With Blue Planet, organizations can achieve closed-loop automation through its innovative multi-domain, multi-layer orchestration, which is enhanced by inventory federation, analytics, and route optimization and assurance, thereby unlocking the true potential of their networks and enhancing business agility. This platform operates seamlessly across various vendor domains, including Ciena’s ecosystem managed by the Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) system, enabling the swift delivery of a diverse range of end-to-end services that excel in performance while significantly reducing operational costs. Furthermore, by adopting such advanced automation solutions, companies can position themselves at the forefront of technological advancement, ensuring they remain competitive in an ever-evolving market landscape.

Description

Regardless of the sector, whether established or a new player, organizations need to swiftly introduce, learn from, and expand their digital service offerings to remain competitive, foster brand loyalty, and sustain a long-lasting consumer base in B2C, B2B, and B2B2X contexts. However, transformation is not instantaneous; it requires a balance between speed to market and maximizing revenue from existing services. Ascendon is a cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that facilitates the launch of new digital services and allows companies to engage effectively in the federated digital economy. Furthermore, it enables a gradual transition to a business model that significantly lowers operational costs, fully digitizes both front and back offices, and integrates both new and existing digital services into a cohesive customer relationship. Organizations can migrate subscribers from outdated systems to Ascendon at their own pace, ensuring they have all the necessary capabilities to support a comprehensive digital services initiative without the need for additional infrastructure. This approach empowers businesses to innovate while maintaining operational efficiency.
