Digital Fuel ServiceFlow™ 3.0 has met the requirements for OSS through JAVA™ initiative certification

Digital Fuel Technologies Inc., the leading provider of Service Relationship Management (SRM) solutions, announced today that its flagship ServiceFlow™ 3.0 product has met OSS through Java™ Initiative certification requirements.

Digital Fuel's product line is a comprehensive software platform designed to allow service delivery managers and corporate decision-makers to manage their complex service environments. The ServiceFlow™ platform leverages data collected by performance monitoring and system management tools as well as information stored in customer relationship management (CRM), billing, and financial systems via its adaptor layer. This adaptor layer is fully controlled by the performance monitor part of the OSS through Java Quality of Service API. The ServiceFlow platform is bundled with pre-built adaptors that can be easily configured for remote, two-way communication with most relational database and log file formats.

"The certification of ServiceFlow 3.0 as an OSS through Java API technology-based program will significantly increase the number of companies that can benefit from the Digital Fuel solution" says Ilia Gilderman, Digital Fuel's Director of Research and Development. "The OSS through Java Quality of Service API performance monitor part implementation for ServiceFlow 3.0 will enable independent software vendors to develop their own adaptors. Having the capability to include any data source in the customer environment enables Digital Fuel to offer a complete solution for the enterprise and service provider markets."

"We are extremely pleased that the Digital Fuel recognizes the value of supporting OSS through Java Initiative standards," said Philippe Lalande, Sun Microsystems, the Initiative's program manager. "Service Flow 3.0 certification is further proof that our APIs are highly valuable at the implementation level. And Digital Fuel has made use of our Quality of Service API in a way that will benefit the telecommunications industry as a whole."
