ConnectiviTree Taps Amartus to Automate Ordering Across CTree Global Alliance

ConnectiviTree and Amartus have announced their collaboration to develop the initial phase of the CTree Plaza Software Suite. Leveraging Amartus’s innovative nBrace™ Product portfolio, this partnership aims to simplify and automate the ordering process across the CTree Global Alliance by utilizing MEF LSO (Lifecycle Service Orchestration) APIs.

This integration will set a standard of operation that accelerates the lead-to-order process and facilitates seamless service orchestration across the Alliance.

This project breaks new ground by lowering the barrier to entry for operators within the Global Alliance, enabling them to adopt automation solutions more easily. It represents a commercial application of the MEF LSO standard to create a many-to-many wholesale marketplace for Data Transport Services, driving efficiency in Network as a Service (NaaS) delivery.

“Our collaboration with Amartus is a milestone in building a unified, automated ecosystem that will bring transformative benefits to operators and service providers. The project will drive simplicity and speed in service ordering and provisioning, benefiting all members of the CTree Global Alliance,” said Mark Gilmour, CTO at ConnectiviTree.

“ConnectiviTree’s Global Alliance is an excellent use-case for Network Service supply-chain Automation and a perfect match for our nBrace™ Open Standards B2B2X Network Automation solution,” said Michael Kearns Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Amartus. “We were able to quickly on-board ConnectiviTree’s and their Alliance partners’ location, product, and pricing information and demonstrate the entire lead-to-order process for end-to-end multi-provider connectivity services in a matter of weeks.”

As part of this collaboration, Amartus and ConnectiviTree will be showcasing a demonstration of the Alliance-wide Order concept at the MEF Global NaaS Event in Dallas, from October 28-30, 2024. The demo will provide a firsthand look at how operators can harness advanced automation to extend their network reach, streamline lead-to-order processes, boost agility, and scale their services faster.

The MEF Global NaaS Event is an industry-leading platform where NaaS innovations and advancements in digital transformation are front and center. Amartus and ConnectiviTree’s joint demonstration will highlight the immense potential of automation in telecommunications, reflecting their shared commitment to shaping the future of network services.
