Customers of Virgin Media Ireland now enjoy
improved broadband experiences
Virgin Media Ireland is working with Blue Planet, a division of
Ciena (NYSE:CIEN), to support the company’s three-year move to a
full fibre network, and transition from traditional cable services
to fully automated high-speed fibre broadband services. With the
Blue Planet platform as the foundation of its network and service
automation strategy, Virgin Media is able to deliver a better
end-user experience and ultra-fast broadband connectivity for its
customers.
As part of its commitment to revolutionize the way their
residential and business customers connect and experience the
digital world, Virgin Media selected Blue Planet’s intelligent
automation platform to modernize its Operational Support Systems
(OSS) stack.
“Blue Planet’s zero-touch model-driven service fulfilment and
strong DevOps ecosystem enable us to speed up the order to service
process. From creation and update to completion or cancellation, we
can easily launch superfast and reliable fibre broadband services.
This strategically positions Virgin Media as a leading innovator in
Ireland and improves our ability to offer the best experience to
our customers,” said John Walsh, Director of Technology
Transformation, Virgin Media Ireland.
Integrated and deployed by telco focused Prodapt, a Blue Orbit
and Virgin Media network OSS implementation partner, the Blue
Planet platform is enabling Virgin Media to quickly launch 2GB Full
Fibre Broadband to homes and businesses across Ireland. Blue Planet
also provides Virgin Media a single ‘source of truth’ for network
and IT users that reflects the current state of the network.
Additionally, Blue Planet Orchestration accelerates service
velocity, improves service agility and supports dynamic service
delivery.
“Blue Planet is supporting Virgin Media Ireland with an
adaptable, automated end-to-end order to service lifecycle,
reducing delays and human errors often associated with legacy
manual operations. By embracing intelligent automation, Virgin
Media is in a better position to meet its goal of bringing faster
connectivity across Ireland,” said Joe Cumello, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Blue Planet.
