00:01 - 00:03 | All the major Fulfillment vendors will be at TMW this year. |
00:03 - 00:06 | Amdocs will have a booth here by the entrance, |
00:07 - 00:11 | Netcracker face you as you come in the door |
00:12 - 00:15 | and Comptel have a double-decker booth beside Forumville |
00:17 - 00:19 | Comptel have nothing to worry us. |
00:19 - 00:21 | Since the acquisition they have no Fulfillment Solution. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Ahmm |
00:27 - 00:28 | Comptel... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Comptel have just announced the launch of Fulfillment 8.0. |
00:34 - 00:36 | They have a demo on the booth. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Leave the room unless you told me Comptel couldn't rebuild SRI |
01:13 - 01:15 | What is this shit? |
01:15 - 01:17 | You told me I would not have to deal with this shit. |
01:18 - 01:23 | "It will be impossible for them to rebuild an entire Fulfillment Solution in a few months" you said. |
01:25 - 01:28 | "We can just sweep in and take all of their customers" |
01:29 - 01:31 | "They're completely fucked!" |
01:31 - 01:34 | Well now we're the ones who look like fucking idiots. |
01:34 - 01:37 | Sold some piece-of-shit software that's years out of date. |
01:37 - 01:40 | Who the fuck runs on PL/SQL any more? |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, we had no idea that the Comptel platform projects had progressed so far. |
01:42 - 01:46 | You told me they had not done anything in years. |
01:46 - 01:48 | I couldn't see the progress they had been making. |
01:48 - 01:52 | Maybe you were too busy fighting with your own colleagues. |
01:53 - 01:54 | Fucking empire-building. |
01:56 - 01:57 | You played me for a complete fool. |
01:57 - 02:00 | "ASI has a standards-compliant model" |
02:00 - 02:03 | "We have hundreds of off-the-shelf components" |
02:04 - 02:08 | "Of course O2S has high enough performance |
02:08 - 02:13 | to handle the next generation of broadband services" |
02:14 - 02:16 | I've never heard such shit in all my life. |
02:17 - 02:21 | A creaking toolkit you couldn't deploy without years of effort. |
02:27 - 02:29 | Oh sure, there's some clever stuff in the Framework. |
02:30 - 02:34 | But beyond some device support it still takes far too long |
02:34 - 02:36 | to make it do anything. |
02:41 - 02:42 | I can't believe it. |
02:43 - 02:47 | I can't believe that Comptel have put an integrated Fulfillment Solution together |
02:48 - 02:53 | in only just a few months. |
02:54 - 02:56 | They must have worked their bollocks off. |
02:56 - 02:59 | The COSE platform must have been proven within SPR and CNM |
03:00 - 03:02 | and now SRI on top of it will kick our arse. |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay Anna, we'll have jobs somewhere. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Order Management 8 has been released for months. |
03:19 - 03:23 | It's all built on InstantLink so the performance is |
03:25 - 03:26 | unbelievable. |
03:31 - 03:33 | We're not even close. |
03:40 - 03:46 | Let's do what we can to convince NBNCo we can rebuild all the features |
03:46 - 03:49 | they requested into Fulfillment 7.1 |
03:53 - 03:56 | This is impossible. |
