Ontology is receiving widespread praise and recognition from the industry for our ground-breaking product, Ontology. Here are some of the awards for Ontology.
TM Forum Innovation Award 2010 Winner
 |
Ontology was central to BT's Product and Systems Migration Project entry in this year's prestigious TM Forum Excellence Awards 2010. The award entry, "Semantic Toolset to Optimise Business Transformations", was based on the cutting-edge work of a team from both BT and Ontology Systems. |
"This win shows the ingenuity of the team and the importance of tools such as Ontology to tackle complex problems in a new and exciting way. Our solution revealed benefits to the planning stage including 30%-80% cost reduction, improved data cleansing and a trusted one-truth model, and importantly shorter planning times which bring forward the ultimate benefits of any migration exercise. This comfortably surpassed all the other manual- and tool-based methods attempted."
John Wittgreffe, Corporate ICT Chief Researcher, BT Innovate and Design.

Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award 2010 Winner
 |
Recognition for the cutting-edge work of a team from both BT and Ontology Systems using Ontology to tackle the tough challenges in planning migrations from legacy to next generation products and services. |
"With Ontology's Ontology, our toolset maximises ROI and reduces migration risk. [...] As a result we can deliver multi-million transformations right-first-time, faster and with significant cost savings. It means we improve our margins and focus our newly-transformed operations on core revenue-generating activities much earlier."
Nektarios Georgalas, Corporate ICT Principal Researcher, BT Innovate and Design.
IET Innovation Award 2009 Finalist
 |
A joint BT and Ontology project "Semantic Tool to Accelerate Migration of Telecommunications Products and Systems" was selected as a finalist for the Telecommunications category of the IET Innovation Awards 2009. The award entry was based on the team's experiences of using Ontology to discover and model dependencies among products, processes, systems, networks and customers. Ontology then enables the understanding of the knock-on effect and impacts of product migration to conduct "what-if" scenario analysis and determine optimal order of migration steps. |
"The objective of using Ontology is to simplify the migration process, save money by minimising iterations and achieve the most accurate migration impact analysis. By using semantics to describe the full meaning of entities, Ontology was able to provide more complete descriptions of product and system dependencies, thus reducing the number of iterative consultations with the experts."
