Quotes & Commentary:

Catherine Michel, CTO and co-founder, Tribold
"Customer acquisition and retention comes from the attractiveness and relevance of your products. Using products to drive your order-to-cash process is essential for exposing your portfolio for that very gain. Using Tribold CPQ Services Engine, the pre-integration between Tribold EPM with Pegasystems Order Management gives CSPs that critical link between their product catalog and the solutions that deliver the product to the customer. The resulting agility means lower cost and faster speed to order for products and services."

Tom Erskine, Business Line Leader, Communications and Media for Pegasystems
"Gathering the right information for order accuracy plays a key role in CSPs delivering superior customer experiences at a time when new converged services and an increase in purchasing channels have prompted massive ordering complexity. Integrating our Order Management solution to Tribold's market leading product management capabilities helps service providers ensure that their ordering processes are accurate, and also greatly improves their time to market for new converged products and services."
