News Facts
Oracle today announced that CPFL Telecom, a new business unit within CPFL Energia, has successfully launched new telecommunications services in the Brazilian market using Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution. CPFL Energia is one of the largest non-state-owned groups of electric energy generation and distribution companies in Brazil and is that country's third-largest electric utility.
This is the first deployment of Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution for utilities in the Brazilian market.
Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution provides a comprehensive network inventory that is pre-integrated with order-management and trouble-ticketing functionality. This enables CPFL Telecom to offer next-generation metro-optical network services to other fixed/mobile operators and large enterprises in São Paulo, Brazil.
CPFL Telecom has integrated Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution with its existing business and operational functions including billing, geographic information system, and fault management. This enables the new business unit to:
Gain full visibility into network resources and services
Eliminate the need for multiple data repositories
Automate previously manual processes, including circuit design of network services and information shared among teams
Plan proactively by monitoring network capacity usage, which helps the subsidiary avoid data traffic congestion and reduce time spent on service interruptions and troubleshooting
Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution enabled CPFL Telecom to leverage its existing infrastructure without disruption. Currently, the business unit offers 232 gigabits per second of transport capacity over an 800-kilometer fiber-optic network.
PromonLogicalis, a Gold-level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork in Brazil, managed the project and completed the implementation in nine months with support from Oracle Communications Consulting.
