Cerillion plc Announces Release of Cerillion 26.1 with Agent2agent Capabilities Cerillion Plc announced the release of Cerillion 26.1, the latest version of its pre-integrated BSS/OSS Suite, which introduces new Agent2Agent (A2A) capabilities that enable communications services providers (CSPs) to move from siloed automation towards coordinated, multi-step process execution across systems. Building on the introduction of its AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in the previous release, Cerillion 26.1 takes this to the next level by enabling AI agents to communicate, coordinate and execute tasks collaboratively – both within the Cerillion platform and with external systems. Cerillion's MCP server, which leverages its Open APIs, provides a consistent and secure framework for sharing context across applications within the BSS/OSS environment. At its core is Cerillion's innovative Progressive Discovery approach, designed to overcome the challenges of context management by allowing AI agents to dynamically discover and access relevant data and services as workflows evolve. These foundations now enable the introduction of A2A capabilities, allowing AI agents to operate with a shared understanding of context and to coordinate actions across multiple systems in real-time – supporting more advanced, multi-step process orchestration. Cerillion 26.1 further strengthens its standards-based, product-led approach, with a range of enhancements across the BSS/OSS Suite to improve real-time responsiveness, monetisation flexibility, and customer experience. These include: Standards leadership and interoperability, supported by Diamond-level TM Forum Open API conformance, including industry-leading Real World Open API certifications and continued progress in ODA Component conformance; Expanded event-driven capabilities, enabling real-time notifications for key lifecycle events and supporting more responsive, automated workflows; Enhanced charging and policy control, with more flexible quota management and QoS-based rating and discounting; Improved mobile app customer journeys, streamlining onboarding, product changes, and in-app payment experiences; Greater operational visibility and reliability, including enhanced inventory monitoring and diagnostics. These enhancements are delivered as part of Cerillion's core BSS/OSS Suite, reinforcing its product-led approach and reducing the need for bespoke integration or services-heavy implementations. CSPs can adopt new capabilities more quickly, within a consistent and standardised framework designed to support scalable, repeatable deployment. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Apr 29

Cerillion plc Announces Launch of Cerillion 25.2 with New MCP Server and Suite of AI Agents Cerillion plc announced the launch of Cerillion 25.2, which features a new Model Context Protocol ("MCP") Server and a powerful suite of AI Agents that brings conversational intelligence to all aspects of a Communications Services Provider's business. The Cerillion Billing Agent is at the heart of the new release and is the Company's first fully featured AI Agent, which enables users to ask questions, explore insights and obtain clear explanations about bills, payments and transactions through natural language conversation. It may be used by both customer service representatives in call centres and end-users via Cerillion's Self Service portal and Mobile App. The new AI Billing Agent transforms the way in which Cerillion's customers, and their end-customers, interact with financial information. The new suite of AI Agents delivers intelligent, conversational experiences over all major business domains. They represent an advance on earlier AI Assistants, and include Sales Agent, Workflow Agent, Catalogue Agent, and Promotions Agent. Each is focused on enabling users to manage complex operations, streamline decisions, and arrive at outcomes faster through a natural, chat-based interface. All the AI Agents are powered by Cerillion's new MCP Server, which provides a foundation for multi-agent collaboration, and are integrated with Cerillion's TM Forum-certified Open APIs. The MCP Server enables seamless integration of AI Agents with external MCP servers and third-party AI systems, giving Cerillion's customers the freedom to build a connected AI ecosystem tailored to their business. Cerillion 25.2 also delivers a series of major platform enhancements that further strengthen its position as the industry's most open and composable BSS/OSS suite. The new Service Catalogue is a new module in the Cerillion suite and is designed to make it easier for customers to define and manage resource-facing services. Built on the same publishing engine and lifecycle management framework as the Enterprise Product Catalogue, which is used to manage customer-facing products and offers, the Service Catalogue provides a unified approach to configuration and governance, while operating independently to define how services are fulfilled. Together, the Enterprise Product Catalogue and Service Catalogue provide a seamless link between product design and service fulfilment, and therefore dramatically accelerate the time to configure, test and launch new offerings. Cerillion's Mobile App now uses the same composable technology framework introduced with Cerillion's next-generation Self Service platform, enabling customers to tailor features, user journeys and digital experiences to their exact needs. Importantly, the Mobile App can be deployed either as a companion to Self Service or as a fully standalone mobile experience, offering maximum flexibility and re-use of components across digital channels. The new release also launches a completely refreshed Interconnect Manager with a new user interface and cloud deployment capability. It delivers a more intuitive experience and improves operational efficiency for managing interconnect partner settlements, routing and billing. Reinforcing Cerillion's commitment to open standards, the Company has achieved its first two TM Forum Open Digital Architecture Component Certifications. This is a key milestone in ensuring interoperability and future-proofing for customers. Tillkännagivande • Oct 28

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 49% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Cerillion Powers Up BSS/OSS Suite with GenAI Launch Cerillion unveiled Cerillion 23.2, the latest release of its pre-integrated BSS/OSS suite, which transforms the product lifecycle for CSPs using generative AI (GenAI) to rapidly build new products and packages. For the first time, product managers can use natural language voice and text instructions to describe the offerings they want to create, and GenAI constructs the corresponding product catalogue configuration in a matter of seconds, ready for validation and launch. Cerillion's single product model and policy of configuration not customisation already puts enormous flexibility in the hands of the users. Now, as CSPs refocus their strategies on revenue growth, the new GenAI integration takes this to the next level by opening up the full power of Cerillion'sEnterprise Product Catalogue to non-technical teams, whilst retaining the business controls and guard rails needed for data integrity and revenue assurance. Other highlights in this release include: Sales Acceleration. The sales process has been completely re-imagined providing a fully configurable workflow from catalogue to checkout, using an API-first architecture to offer the same flexibility across all sales channels, from call centre and dealers to self-service and apps. Initially focused on mobile services, the new sales engine will be further extended in future releases to span the full spectrum of multi-play services. Total Experience. CRM Plus dashboards have been extended using low-code/no-code "cards" to enable easy integration of data from 3rd party systems, providing CSRs with a single pane of glass for all customer service activities, speeding up customer interactions and improving the employee experience. Standards-based Integration. Cerillion has continued to extend the certification of its TM Forum Open APIs, with conformance achieved for TMF673 Geographic Address Management, and four further real-world certifications, underlining its commitment to an API-first architecture that drives both internal business processes and external integration. Customer Experience. Cerillion's Mobile App has been enhanced to support balance transfers from one user to another, allowing family members or friends to help each other out by transferring unused data or excess credit to someone in need. Business Productivity. Cerillion 23.2 now includes a comprehensive Office365 Add-in, allowing business users to easily lookup Cerillion account information directly from their emails, using the same system of configurable "cards" to specify the layout and visibility of key data. From here, users can perform quick actions such as creating new Leads and recording Events, streamlining the user experience and ensuring a full history of correspondence is maintained for each Account.

Cerillion plc Releases Latest Version of Product Set Cerillion Plc announced the release of Cerillion 22.2, the latest version of its product suite, predominantly used by telecommunications companies. This new release features in particular a major upgrade of the 'Wholesale Gateway' module, which supports the automation of the wholesale operations of network operators ("NetCos"). The upgraded module speeds up the on-boarding process of NetCos' new service provider partners ("ServCos"). It also simplifies the integration of business support systems between NetCos and ServCos, whilst providing a high level of security for NetCos through a dedicated authorisation layer and comprehensive API (application programming interfaces) management policies. The upgraded module builds on the Company's long-established experience in providing business support systems/operations support systems solutions ("BSS/OSS") to both wholesale and retail Communications Service Providers ("CSPs"). It comes at a time when CSPs are increasingly separating the functions of network operations and service provision into two distinct business entities. Investor interest is also supporting this structural separation. Cerillion 22.2 also introduces further flexibility for CSPs to tailor the product to their individual requirements. Custom fields and page layouts can now be adapted with an intuitive drag-and-drop page editor. This allows system administrators to make adaptations quickly and easily, without the need for code changes, while still benefitting from all the commercial and operational advantages of using a SaaS product.
