Good to see firms looking to leverage and build IP to offer solutions to their customers. I recall a recent press release about Mastek looking to get into the insurance platform by leveraging their IP based platform and now Patni seems to be leveraging a customer IP to do the same. Firms are looking for ways to grow revenues by creating more innovative solutions and moving away from FTE based model. It will be interesting to see how the market accepts these new offerings and pricing models around these offerings as they evolve.

Patni Computer Systems Ltd. has launched Patni atoms, the first market-ready offering for communications service providers to set up core customer- and partner-facing business processes under one consolidated operational model.

Patni atoms process-centric platform is designed for providers needing to provision new converged services. In the case of a start-up operator in high growth markets, atoms enables the licensing of the systems required to ramp up service delivery in a short period of time.

The Patni atoms platform also accelerates the business transformation program for existing operators and provides a blueprint for future operating models. As providers start using Patni atoms, the whole community of users can share in the resulting enhanced packaged solution. Patni recently acquired intellectual property from Carphone Warehouse that formed the basis of atoms.

“It’s critical for us to respond rapidly in the entrepreneurial business we are in and the solution we have co-created has enabled us to complete the first phase of our planned roll out at Carphone Warehouse. As the co-creators of Patni atoms we have been delighted to have played our part in what is undoubtedly a quantum step forwards in the evolution of telecoms industry operations,” said Simon Post, Chief Technology Officer of Carphone Warehouse.

“The solution will be instrumental in allowing us to manage rapid growth in both business scope and scale whilst underpinning our successful business transformation,” added Post.

Best-of-breed software providers of CRM, billing and product catalog are wrapped in a business process framework powered by the TIBCO platform. Pre-configured business processes and consulting and advisory services form the glue that gives the Patni atoms offering its foundation of strength and flexibility.

“Patni atoms is a modern take on convergence, applying ‘joined up thinking’ to the operators’ business model,” said Colin Orviss, Senior Vice President of Patni Telecoms Consulting. “Communications service providers want to be able to focus on their business, and not just on technology decisions which are better dealt with by technologists. With the ability to integrate across multiple and discrete platforms at a business process level, Patni atoms takes advantage of newly available integration technologies, launched at a time when many operators are facing a serious financial crunch.”

Patni said Patni atoms revolutionizes the speed and flexibility with which 

communications service providers are capable of bringing new services to market by offering a blended, layered approach to supportive business services previously dealt with as separate entities. It offers cost savings, speed, economies of scale and core telco business processes for new entrants or established providers wishing to gear up to deliver a new communications service as quickly and affordably as possible.
