Aepona Causeway Architecture and Parlay X Web Services Supports Oracle BPEL Process Manager

Belfast, Northern Ireland -/21 April, 2005 - Wi-Fi Technology Forum/- Telecommunications operators worldwide use Aepona Causeway? to realise new converged voice and data solutions for both enterprises and consumers. Building on the success of the launch of Parlay X and Web Services, Aepona, a member of Oracle? PartnerNetwork, today announced its Causeway architecture and Parlay X Web Services support Oracle BPEL Process Manager.

The announcement adds the power of Oracle development and deployment platforms for telecommunications operators building end-to-end business logic flows into their new Parlay X web services applications. The net result is that Aepona and Oracle can greatly reduce operators' cost and risk of deploying new customer-enhancing applications and services.

According to Liam McQuillan, Aepona?s CEO, ?Aepona and Oracle understand that telecoms firms have the same set of needs as other businesses in terms of their strategic IT partnerships. For too long now telecoms firms have been unable to reap the advantages that Web Services can bring. In short, operators need carrier-grade applications that support these standards and allow them to address their customers' ever-changing needs. As a Business Integration Partner with Oracle, Aepona is helping telecommunications operators worldwide to build and deploy new and exciting converged voice and data solutions.?

According to Amlan Debnath, Oracle Vice President of Server Technologies, ?Operators are under great pressure to show return on revenue for their infrastructure investments. Oracle is now bringing the capability to get the revenue generating services to market much more rapidly and cost-effectively than they could in the past. By having Causeway Parlay X Web Services architecture support Oracle BPEL Process Manager Aepona brings a wide range of network connectivity and experience to Oracle customers, both operators and application developers. By enabling both of these communities we expect to eliminate more barriers to adoption and see the acceleration of exciting new services for both consumers and business users.?
