London, UK – September 16, 2009 - Aldous and Tribold, both leaders in their spaces, have formed a global sales and marketing partnership to deliver an integrated solution that enables CSPs to dramatically reduce timescales across the whole product development and fulfillment lifecycle, and thus reduce costs and increase revenue.
 
By combining two powerful and unique offerings – Aldous at the front end enabling accurate order creation, for even the most complex products and services, for fulfillment and billing; and Tribold enabling the rapid creation and deployment of products and services in critical support of the order-to-install-to-cash stream – the companies create a compelling cost and time saving proposition for the CSP market.

Aldous CEO, Morris Hodges said “The combination of Aldous’ comprehensive, multi channel order capture suite and Tribold’s enterprise product management capability has been very well received by the CSPs.  They are struggling with long lead-times from product conception to taking orders and the inability of their existing order capture systems to consistently deliver “clean tickets” to downstream systems.”

Tribold CEO, John Rainger, said “We are now finding that CSPs are asking for the combination of order capture and product management in a tightly coupled manner to support the order creation process in an increasingly real-time fashion. The combination of our two applications enables the CSP’s customers to select and configure the right products at the correct price, and see those delivered without a hitch.”

The design concepts, delivery methodology, and licensing models behind both Aldous and Tribold make for an agile and rapid solution deployment, focused on early results whilst keeping costs and capex in particular to a minimum.
