FAIRFAX, Va., March 15, 2005 – Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), an analyst firm specializing in management software and services, today released the market report, “Rivermine Software Readies Telecommunications Resource Management for Mainstream Convergence.” The report notes that Rivermine Software— a leading business applications provider for telecommunications management— stands alone in offering a much-needed inventory-powered software-centric approach to manage an enterprise’s telecom assets.
“Rivermine’s solution provides a pragmatic and wide-ranging set of capabilities for managing telecommunication resources,” said Dennis Drogseth, vice president, EMA. “The strengths of Rivermine Software in terms of inventory, integration, and software automation (existing and potential), sets it apart from its competitors.”
According to EMA, managing telecommunications has traditionally been a hit-or-miss process, often with minimal capabilities to evaluate expensive telecommunications bills. As a result, EMA notes enterprises often default to outside services that can be inefficient and an added cost burden.
“EMA believes that Rivermine Software has taken some significant and meaningful steps in providing enterprise telecommunications organizations with a means of taking control of a complex array of resources, and in setting the stage for a more robust integration of infrastructure resource management across both telecommunications and data-centric IT,” said Drogseth.
Reporting that Rivermine Software delivers value to enterprise telecommunications organizations in the ordering, planning and optimization of telecommunications resources, EMA notes a return-on-investment payback for Rivermine customers within six months for large telecommunications investments.
“Rivermine is pleased to be recognized by EMA, the leading network and systems management analysts,” said Mark Logan, CEO, Rivermine Software. “We believe the EMA report, along with recent META and Gartner research, put Rivermine ahead of the market by offering an inventory-powered solution, including telecom expense management, process compliance, and analysis and planning.”
Rivermine’s expense, process, and analytical software solution provides an intuitive and unified way to view, manage, and control nearly all aspects of telecommunications management. It integrates many cumbersome tasks such as ordering and provisioning, analysis and planning, and invoice processing and payment.
