Kalilur led the development and integration of the Implementing Contracts on NGN OSS (ICON) catalyst project, sponsored by France Telecom. This series of catalyst projects showcased the practical use of NGOSS contracts, ETSI TISPAN Generic User Profile and integration of COTS packages using the TM Forum’s SID framework to demonstrate next generation services involving service creation, product management, order capture, service fulfillment, and service execution of services in both the communications and content domains. In addition to leading the integration team, Kalilur was the key presenter of the technical demonstrations conducted at the Nice, France and Dallas Management World conferences. Kalilur’s technical competency and personable managerial skills were a true success factor for this series of catalyst projects. I welcome the opportunity to work with Kalilur again on any project.
