ORACLE OPENWORLD, San Francisco, Calif. – October 4, 2011
News Facts
Sky Brasil (www.sky.com.br) , one of the largest digital-to-home (DTH) pay-TV operators in Latin America, has selected Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (www.oracle.com/us/industries/communications/046791.html) to help it provide more sophisticated and differentiated services to its rapidly growing subscriber base.
A subsidiary of DIRECTV, Sky Brasil offers the largest selection of high-definition content in Brazil.
The company’s legacy IT system presented technical limitations that prevented Sky Brasil from handling its growing influx of subscribers. In addition, Sky Brasil required a solution with a dynamic product catalogue to provide its customers more complex services.
Sky Brasil will implement Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management as a scalable, flexible and convergent platform to support immediate introduction of new offers that can be consolidated on a single bill. The application will enable Sky Brasil to rapidly design, deliver and monetize creative service offers/bundles and deliver a wide range of services based on customer or market driven conditions.
The flexible, integrated Oracle solution will also enable Sky Brasil to:
Converge customers’ services on one monthly bill
Improve operational efficiency
Reduce cost and implementation time by leveraging Oracle Application Integration Architecture (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/application-integration-architecture/apps-integration-architecture-210164.html?origref=www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CEgQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2Fus%2Faia%2Findex.html&rct=j) , a rich portfolio of pre-built, extensible, SOA-based integration accelerators
Complementary applications selected by Sky Brasil include Oracle Communications Automatic Service Activation Program (ASAP) (www.oracle.com/us/industries/communications/046855.html) , to enable rapid introduction of new services, and Oracle’s Siebel Dynamic Catalogue (www.oracle.com/us/products/applications/siebel/customer-order-management/036212.htm) to efficiently integrate product selection and configuration to accelerate service delivery to customers.
In addition, Sky Brasil will use Oracle SOA Suite (www.oracle.com/us/technologies/soa/soa-suite-066466.html) to extend the Oracle solution to integrate with some of its existing systems.
Sky Brasil recently began this multi-product implementation.
