    Century CPQ is a core business application that fully automates the Configure-Price-Quote process for telecom service providers. It facilitates sales managers' tracking of prospects, accounts, and customers - all in a single, user-friendly environment with configurable workflows and readily available industry-specific models.

    Overview

    Century is a robust, scalable, and high-performance application built to serve the demanding needs of enterprise and government clients of communication service providers. With its best-of-breed capabilities of sizable hierarchies and a multitude of out-of-the-box telecom product models, Century empowers you to easily configure and manage complex offerings, encompassing thousands of order line items tailored to both product and location-specific requirements.

    Century enables seamless digital business operations with advanced automation, offering a comprehensive customer 360 view. This facilitates efficient new sales and MACD capabilities for existing clients through an automated selection of offerings with precise pricing and role-based discounting capabilities. Century ensures streamlined processes and enhanced operational efficiency, supported by automated or orchestrated approvals and other workflows.

    With a robust Enterprise Product Catalog, Century allows forward and reverse translations to multiple catalogs while maintaining data quality, even with the most demanding processes. To avoid the data ripple created by performing MACD, Excelacom has designed a system that is compliant with the TM Forum Open API Initiative. This allows easy integration with north and south-bound systems to ensure cascading of data across the entire telecom ecosystem.

    Our platform excels at guided selling, which simplifies the quoting and MACD processes by enabling users to effortlessly navigate through product categories to adjust terms and units and select features that are up-to-date and in accordance with your sales strategy.

    Empowered with multiple AI agents in a user-friendly environment, Century CPQ streamlines the process of identifying your customers' unique needs. Following a structured question-and-answer approach, the system effectively gathers relevant customer information. Based on their responses, Century CPQ can then recommend the most suitable service tailored to their specific requirements. This approach enhances customer satisfaction and accelerates the sales process for improved efficiency and maximization of sales.

    Excelacom adheres to TM Forum standards and utilizes their open API guidelines to integrate with external systems seamlessly. TM Forum's standards and APIs allow us to streamline the integration process, ensuring compatibility and efficiency of data transactions. By aligning with TM Forum's industry-leading practices, Excelacom prioritizes delivering an interconnected and error-free experience, empowering businesses to optimize their telecom systems to achieve plug-and-play architecture.

    Century CPQ is licensed by Line of Business for a production instance. The license also grants use for lower environments. Excelacom defines one Line of Business as B2B, public sector, B2C, wholesale, mobile, cable, or any other line of business with annual revenues of up to $10B USD. License fees are a flat recurring amount regardless of the number of users, and Excelacom provides a transparent total cost of ownership without license price escalation during the contract period.

    License fees do not include the AWS cloud and third-party software infrastructure fees (Operating system, EKS, monitoring, and database servers), and the client will be responsible for infrastructure scaling based on user and volume of quote growth.

    Excelacom provides custom pricing and contract terms based on customer needs, so please contact us at centuryaws@excelacom.com  directly to request an offer.

    Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
