(NASDAQ:VITR), a leading provider of business process integration solutions, announced today that Japan Telecom, one of largest telecommunication carriers in Japan, has implemented Vitria's BusinessWare(R) platform to improve its data telecommunication operation support system (OSS) for the enterprise. The main challenge for Japan Telecom was to build an OSS that consolidates service orders and status information from customers while realizing faster time to market and a reduction in maintenance and operating costs. By leveraging the Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) capabilities of BusinessWare, they were able to integrate existing systems and applications effectively while cutting down in-house development work. "In today's competitive telecommunications market, time-to-market is the key to success. Companies like Japan Telecom have a clear need to select best of breed BPM/EAI technology in order to create a flexible system that can quickly respond to business needs in the future," said Masaru Hayase, acting president of Vitria Japan.
