Oracle Announces General Availability of Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1
Application Enhancements Empower Communications Service Providers to More Rapidly Introduce and Deliver Next Generation Services
- To enable the rapid introduction, fulfillment and ongoing management of next-generation, customer-centric services, Oracle announced the availability of Oracle(R) Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1.
- The application is designed for cost-effective introduction in a discrete fashion into an existing inventory environment through a modular, service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based framework and inventory federation capabilities for unifying disparate data across multiple systems. This approach enables service providers to deploy only the specific inventory capabilities required in their environments.
- Since the product’s initial launch, service providers worldwide have purchased and/or deployed the application – including Etihad Atheeb Telecom “GO,” Cellular South, Com Hem AB and Tikona Digital Networks – to support enterprise and consumer services across fixed, cable and mobile networks.
- Building on best practices derived from these implementations, Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1 provides new capabilities with improved usability and integration that will help customers accelerate deployment and optimize the application’s benefits, while reducing total cost of ownership.
New Features in Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1
- Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1 introduces pre-built technology packs that provide out-of-the-box functionality for accelerated rollout of the most common IP multi-play and higher layer services including voice over IP (VoIP), multiprotocol label switching layer 3 virtual private network (MPLS L3 VPN) and Metro Ethernet/virtual local area network (VLAN) services.
- The application enables true inventory federation through a federation framework that allows integration and collaboration with external inventory systems without requiring capital intensive data migration and/or consolidation, or a risky complete inventory system transformation.
- Further, Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1 delivers out-of-the-box integration with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, which many service providers use to create tailored reports that draw upon real-time and historical inventory data, as well as Oracle Spatial, which supports geographical mapping and geocoding across the application. These pre-built integrations deliver rapid, seamless incorporation of business analytics and powerful geospatial representations to the inventory arena.
- The new release also features an enhanced graphical design time modeling tool, Design Studio, which offers best practices modeling of customer services and resources. It also simplifies the configuration and development of Web services to support service fulfillment for enterprise and consumer multi-play services.
- Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1 also provides additional documentation and use cases to empower service provider implementation teams with tools to deploy the application faster and with less in-house development.

“Communications service providers around the world are already benefitting from the integrated inventory tools that Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management offers. With this new release, Oracle has demonstrated the application’s strength through documented successes that service providers and their systems integrator partners can replicate, as well as productized technology packs to accelerate the delivery of key next generation services. Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management 7.1 will empower service providers to quickly and efficiently introduce, deploy and manage a range of services, from convergent consumer multi-play to advanced enterprise services,” said Liam Maxwell, vice president of products, Oracle Communications.
“With the intent to create the largest WiMax network in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, GO had the unique opportunity to define a strategic systems architecture that is not burdened by legacy applications or approaches but instead embraces innovative applications that natively support contemporary technologies, are readily extensible to support additional technologies and ensure close alignment with key TM Forum standards. Consistent with that goal, GO has deployed Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management as our strategic inventory platform, which provides GO the confidence and flexibility to support both current and next-generation services and technologies,” said Craig Humphreys, vice president, information technology at Etihad Atheeb Telecom “GO.”
