Park Bench Solutions: Triple Crown Award Winner (2018- 2019-2020)

Park Bench Founder & CEO Marc Tribbe states, “There is a crowded field of portal and provisioning options available today. Park Bench has the first and most robust RESTful version of the proprietary BroadWorks OCI/OCS It is fully documented, contains mock data and a live Postman environment to test all of our simplified BroadWorks API calls and dozens of powerful new odin API calls as well. This and our unique ability to securely stream data (such as all billable events) out to any third party application already differentiate the odin Platform from any other solutions. Now we have added the ability to automate migrations between versions and platforms, free of spreadsheets and retries with odin AIM. Advanced error-checking and our queuing mechanism prevent errors before they occur and allow us to process tens of thousands of jobs simultaneously without overrunning a backend BroadWorks instance. And finally, our built-in Multi-Tenant capabilities allows a single odin instance to oversee any number of different versions and locations of BroadWorks. These are examples of what makes Park Bench truly unique and sets us apart from the rest of the field.” Tribbe adds that Park Bench enjoyed a multi-year head start on all the competition, and continues to innovate and find new ways to help their clients optimize costs, increase profits and differentiate from their competitors.

ACCELERATING & OPTIMIZING M&A in TELECOM

In January, Park Bench named their early investor and long-time Advisory Board member, James L. Lee, as their Managing Partner to help Park Bench launch their global sales and marketing efforts, build a robust network of API-integrated partners and to transform Park Bench from an elite team of BroadWorks SMEs and Application Development experts to a full consultancy to assist thought leaders in the UCaaS space to accelerate innovation, optimize profits (through powerful API integrations and quote-tocash workflow automations) and to enable “turnkey” M&A solutions for roll-ups and acquisition of other BroadWorks operators with ease. Lee states, “The trifecta win for our clients is the combination of three key components of our portfolio that completely change the game. We now radically reduce the risk and costs associated with the rollup or acquisition of like operators. When combining the unique multi-tenant capabilities of the odin Platform with the odin Automation Suite and the new automated migration capabilities of odin AIM, the odin Platform provides a strategic abstraction layer where all process and procedures, app development, third-party integrations, quote-to-cash workflows, training and documentation can be standardized universally throughout the global network.”

The impact for the acquirer and the acquired is impressive. For instance, a newly acquired Broadworks instance can be pointed to the established odin Platform to achieve near-instant assimilation into the existing framework and ecosystem. Lee adds, “The vast majority of the complicated upgrades and migrations needed between versions, plus their testing and cutover from the old to new framework, can now be automated and achieved at our client’s convenience instead of based upon an urgent financially-driven timeline. Our clients can now think of these efforts more as a convenience or consolidation play. It is no longer in the critical path, and that can translate into millions between cost and time savings at scale, and months of accretive and accelerated revenues within the new entity.”

This year is a trifecta win for Park Bench Solutions with our CIO Applications Top API Solution Provider award, and for current and future Park Bench clients alike.
