  LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Axiom Systems, the leading service fulfillment and service assembly
software provider for communications operators, today announced SITA as a
customer. The Geneva-based company will deploy Axiom Systems' AXIOSS
platform to manage and configure SITA's portfolio of integrated network
solutions for its global air transport industry customer base.

    With the air transport community's IP-based networks becoming
increasingly important to improve customer service and satisfaction, SITA
selected Axiom Systems' service fulfillment platform to manage and
configure their Internet-based solutions, with a longer term project plan
to expand the desired E2E solution to include other related services.

    SITA's immediate requirements center on the need for an end-to-end
solution encompassing service provisioning, service inventory and the
activation of their Internet-based solutions. These requirements utilize
three modules of AXIOSS: - Order to Service(R) which monitors and
controls the whole service provisioning process allowing users to
execute, track and automate order lifecycle; Service Inventory(R) which
is used to manage the physical and logical resources, and maintains
synchronization with the network; And Service Activation(TM) which
provides the communications layer for interfaces to other network
solutions.

    At the heart of industry innovation, in a future project phase SITA plans
to implement Axiom Systems Active Catalog(TM), a service design and
process orchestration platform that allows products and services to be
quickly created and rolled out, from robust, reusable building blocks.
The Active Catalog is at the heart of the TM Forum's PSA (Product and
Service Assembly) architecture of which Axiom Systems was a founding
member.

    Gregory Ouillon, VP Research, Technology and Innovation at SITA stated,
"As the world's leading service provider of IT business solutions and
communications services to the air transport industry, it was vital that
we implement a flexible yet reliable solution to manage our IP-based
network solutions, and for this reason we chose AXIOSS from Axiom
Systems. In AXIOSS, we believe we have found such a platform with which
to meet and exceed the challenging demands of our customers today while
allowing us to stay competitive."

    Minesh Patel, VP Operations at Axiom Systems said, "SITA is an exciting
new customer for Axiom Systems as it is our first step into the
Enterprise market. We are delighted that after an in-depth evaluation of
the world's leading service delivery solutions, SITA has selected Axiom
Systems as a preferred supplier. They join a global list of
communications providers who have converted to Axiom Systems' unique
componentized approach to service fulfillment."
