an unusually short lifespan might indicate that your tribold ancestors lived in harsh conditions . a short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family . the ssdi is a searchable database of more than 70 million names . you can find birthdates , death dates , addresses and more .
evidence of the healthy nature of tribold’s marketing can be seen according to a forthcoming yankee group report , which states that the typical csp has upwards of 1000 unique products , and can take up to a year to introduce new products . as we move towards a fully converged environment , this number is set to rise dramatically – further exacerbating the already significant product management challenges .
sigma’s acquisition of tribold brings together two leading product lines to create a comprehensive , multi - channel solution stack that offers a true ‘idea - to - install’ platform . sigma’s expanded solution set now offers catalog driven capability for the complete idea - to - install process , from the point of creating and deploying new products and services , to creating and configuring the customer’s order , through to delivering the order with installation and activation .
“with the tribold acquisition , sigma has redefined the ‘idea to install’ platform , offering a complete , catalog - driven suite of solutions for service providers . service providers can now take immediate advantage of network and service innovation to roll out value - added services , including consumer , enterprise , cloud and m2m applications , and to improve revenues and margins in their core businesses , ” said tim spencer , president and coo , sigma systems .

with the race on to own the ‘converged customer’ across the csp market , subscriber retention is a priority . csps increasingly find themselves having to go - to - market with new and enhanced products and services quicker if they are to retain customers and not lose competitive advantage . by providing csps with a single view of all products and services offered , tribold enables them to understand key product management metrics , such as profitability and predictive analysis , based on accurate information . in today’s converged world , the ability to rapidly adapt to changing trends in customer demands has a direct affect on the provider’s bottom line .
