Tribold Enterprise Product Management (EPM™) – Product Overview

The Tribold Enterprise Product Management (Tribold EPM™) product suite provides the core components necessary to centralize, configure, integrate and maintain the CSP‟s product and service portfolio across the enterprise.

At the heart of the solution is the central product and service catalog, which brings together into a single master all of the commercial and technical elements that define the reusable product and service building blocks and resulting offers.

The Tribold EPM™ user interface provides a single point-of-entry and single point-of- access to the master product and service data, through which users can perform all the activities necessary to manage the full catalog of product offerings and underlying services, including the creation, modification, reuse, launch, maintenance and retirement of products and services.

The open, standards- and SOA-based Tribold integration framework provides the necessary infrastructure to interface product and service data to BSS and OSS systems in an automated and efficient fashion, including Order Capture, CRM, Billing, Order Management, Mediation, Provisioning, Online Portals and more.

TM Forum has reviewed and approved the self-assessment of the product listed here against Information Framework (SID) version 9.5 Domains/Aggregate Business Entities. Each ABE was measured using an Information Framework (SID) conformance scale of 1–7, with 1 being the lowest, 3 being the acceptable minimum, and 7 being the highest level of conformance.
