In a session yesterday Oracle executives discussed the planned futures for Communications Billing and Revenue Management.
The latest release of CBRM, 7.4, has now been out about 3 weeks. There are now 300 implementations of CBRM in 56 countries. In 2009 Oracle added 32 net new customers with CBRM.
Looking forward to the next 3 years CBRM will increasingly become part of the Fusion Applications Suite beginning with Fusion Pricing (12 months), Fusion Charging (18 months) and Fusion Billing (30 months).
Plans include replacing the CBRM Pipeline product with a single rating engine for both batch and real-time. Performance improvements will rely on Oracle’s Coherence product.
Oracle also noted that CBRM has Gartner’s highest rating in its product space.
With the move to the Fusion architecture we can expect the increased use of ADF, SOA and Web Services in place of the current CBRM GUI, opcodes and FLists.
