Axiom Systems and Wipro Technologies Announce Service Component Factory Initiative

Telemanagement World, Nice, France (ots/PRNewswire) - Axiom
Systems the leader in service fulfillment software for communications
service providers and Wipro Technologies, Global IT Services division
of Wipro Ltd (NYSE: WIT) today announced an initiative to further
invest in off-shore componentization by establishing a Service
Component Factory in Bangalore, India.

The Service Component Factory will become a Center Of Excellence
for creating 'building block' style components that can be rapidly
bolted together to streamline the creation and fulfillment of
multi-vendor, multi-technology and multi-play products and services
being offered by Communication Service Providers today. Already Axiom
Systems and Wipro have been approaching Service Fulfillment using a
components approach with a number of customers across the globe. The
Component Factory will feed into Axiom Systems central Development in
the United Kingdom.

The fulfillment of communications services is commonly based
around multiple disparate silos each with its own bespoke processes,
configuration, complicated coding and a high level of technical
expertise. In this type of OSS (Operational Support System)
environment, as the number of services increases or services are
bundled and blended together, fulfillment becomes a significant
barrier to the delivery of new services. With little or no reuse,
complex static workflows increase causing maintenance to become a
complex, costly and time consuming process Components dramatically
simplify this process.

Components are 'building blocks' that incorporate all of the
fulfillment elements associated with particular services and
associated technology resources. Components can be reused and bundled
with other components to save time and money in the creation of new
product and service offerings. Approved components will be published
to a library which will then be available to Service Providers around
the world to help fast track the introduction of next generation
services from initial concept to revenue.

Brian Naughton, VP Product Strategy and Architecture at Axiom
Systems said, "We have always been at the forefront of innovation in
producing solutions which will simplify the process of Service
Fulfillment. Our customers have been benefiting from a component
based approach for IP services since 2003 and the extension of this
work with Wipro Technologies around the Component Factory further
reinforces our investment in providing solutions to Service Providers
that meet the requirements of their business problems today."

Suryanarayana Valluri, Vice President Telecom Service Provider
Group, Wipro Technologies, said, "After many years of success in the
Service Fulfillment market, the creation of a Service Component
Factory with Axiom Systems will take the industry to the next level.
Going forward, off-the-shelf service components will be standard
practice for the telecommunications industry and we are proud to be
at the forefront of this innovation."

two decades of serving Communication Service Providers and
Communication Equipment Manufacturers. With a strong network of
alliances, Wipro have been enabling Communication Service Providers
in faster deployment of new services, cost optimization in existing
