Ariana: Which summit will Aria Systems be participating in?
Tom: Aria will be co-sponsoring a Lunchtime Briefing with Salesforce as part of the Growth Summit. At the session, Aria Chief Innovation Officer, Brendan O’Brien, will join Salesforce’s Oisin O’Connor and Nathan Bell, M1 Singapore’s former Chief Digital Officer, to review how M1 worked in partnership with Aria and Salesforce to successfully transform their BSS architecture for both business and consumer segments. The M1 case study is titled, “Creating a Cloud-Native BSS Architecture to Efficiently Monetize 5G and Digital Services.”
Ariana: What are some of the key announcements we can expect from Aria Systems at the event?
Tom: Aria will be announcing the launch of a SaaS Communications Order Management solution developed with Salesforce. The solution offers CSPs concept-to-cash-to-care capabilities and a distinct competitive advantage as they adapt, coordinate with new partners, and pursue growth by diversifying beyond connectivity. Additionally, we will be announcing Aria’s alignment with TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture and inclusion within the ODA interactive digital poster.
Ariana: What will be Aria Systems's major showcases?
Tom: Broadly, we will be showcasing our cloud-native SaaS usage and subscription billing platform and demonstrating how it enables CSPs to monetize 5G products and services. In addition to the previously mentioned Lunchtime Briefing and case study presentation with Salesforce, Aria will also present the findings and solution from the TM Forum Catalyst titled, “Async Open APIs for Event-Based Architectures.” Alongside our partners, we will demonstrate how an event-driven architecture can enable service providers to build more scalable and flexible IT architectures with lower integration costs and faster time-to-market. The Catalyst solution will be presented in the Innovations Lab Arena. Throughout DTW, Aria executives will welcome attendees to their exhibition booth on the show floor as well as its fully booked meeting room.
Ariana: How does it feel to be back physically at DTW 2022? What’s your Copenhagen experience?
Tom: While this will be Aria’s first time formally exhibiting at DTW, we have been hosting in-person partner and customer events, including our own user conference, Aria Recur, which took place in Copenhagen this past June. It has been great to be back among colleagues, partners, and customers and we are excited to engage and interact with them all at DTW.
