This year's TeleManagement World (TMW) edition drove nearly 3,000 attendees

to Nice in France, where the TeleManagement Forum (TMF)
announced the creation of a new go-to-market program (Prosspero) joining forces with the OSS Through Java initiative which will now be part of TMF.
Keith Willets (TMF's CEO) and
Glenn Edens from Sun unveiled the new market initiative during the opening session of TMW.
At the conference, Sun demonstrated the first integration of last year's
SeeBeyond acquisition (now
Java Composite Application Platform Suite) and the OSS/J-based
trouble ticket integration hub which created a lot of interest from the customers attending the conference. The integration demonstrated the benefits of a flexible IT infrastructure based on Business Process Management (BPM) integrated with an existing OSS/BSS platform. Sun and our partners have submited the OSS/J trouble ticketing hub as one of the first
Prosspero solution pack.
On another important topic, Nokia
announced their support for the Solaris 10 platform in their OpenEMS suite which demonstrated increasing momentum for Sun's carrier-grade Operating System to enable true interoperability and support for convergent telecommunication protocols.
