From Bottlenecks to Breakthroughs: The Case for Self-Sufficient Service Activation
Watch the video to discover how Tertio® TSA™ is transforming service activation from a cost center into a strategic growth engine.
In the highly competitive telecom landscape, speed and flexibility are essential for success. As operators strive to launch next-generation services, monetize their 5G investments, and maintain profitability in a changing market, many are realizing that their legacy service activation platforms are holding them back.
Hard-coded provisioning systems, manual workflows, complex integrations, and a heavy reliance on external vendors. These issues represent not merely technical obstacles but also strategic liabilities that impede innovation, elevate operational costs, and restrict the agility with which operators can respond to market demands.
Tertio addresses these challenges.
Built for operational independence and future-ready networks, Tertio empowers telecom providers to take control of service activation. It enables true self-sufficiency without compromising scale, speed, or quality.
Why Service Activation Needs a Rethink
Service activation should drive growth, not create obstacles. However, for many telecom operators, it often becomes a bottleneck.
Legacy Operations Support Systems (OSS) often struggle to meet modern demands, including managing multi-vendor environments, rolling out multiple devices, and supporting hybrid network architectures. The outcome is a complex web of workflows that necessitate custom coding, manual updates, and expensive vendor involvement to implement even the most minor changes.
This reliance on external development teams generates friction, inflates costs, and results in delays in time-to-market. Even more concerning is that it undermines the internal agility needed to seize new business models, address enterprise opportunities, and adapt to evolving consumer expectations.
That’s why progressive communication service providers (CSPs) are transitioning to platforms designed with self-sufficiency at their core.
What Makes Tertio Different
Tertio® TSA™ is a strategic enabler for OSS transformation. It simplifies provisioning, reduces operational expenses (OPEX), and accelerates service launches, enabling telecom teams to manage activation internally and at scale.
Key Self-Sufficiency Benefits:
✔ No-Code Service Design
With intuitive, rule-based provisioning and drag-and-drop tools like the Tertio Activation Designer, internal teams can configure and launch services without writing custom code or relying on external integrators. This process not only speeds up rollouts but also significantly reduces the cost of changes.
✔ Centralized, Real-Time Control
Tertio offers a centralized user interface that provides end-to-end visibility over the activation process across various vendors, technologies, and service types. Teams gain the autonomy to manage business rules, validate configurations, and deploy updates, all while maintaining full audit readiness and governance.
✔ Seamless Integration in Hybrid Environments
Tertio is designed to handle complexity, is vendor-agnostic, and functions effectively across existing OSS/BSS stacks. Whether operating within legacy networks or cloud-native deployments, telecommunications operators can integrate Tertio without disruption. This leads to simplified workflows and reduced integration overhead.
✔ Operational Agility Without Vendor Lock-in
By separating service logic from hardcoded platforms, Tertio enables operators to respond more quickly to market demands. New enterprise bundles, IoT services, or regional offerings can be launched in days rather than months, giving organizations a competitive edge.
The Strategic Value of Self-Sufficiency
The true strength of Tertio lies in its capacity to redefine operational ownership. For C-level executives in telecommunications, this results in:
✔ Faster revenue realization with shorter time-to-market
✔ Lower operational expenses through reduced reliance on external partners
✔ Greater resiliency as internal teams gain control over critical systems
✔ Improved compliance with audit-ready traceability and configuration control
✔ Future-proof operations that can scale and adapt as business needs evolve
Over 50 operators worldwide have adopted Tertio to move from reactive to proactive operations. In highly competitive markets with increasing regulatory demands, self-sufficiency has become essential.
