Overture Online is the shop front for the Overture suite of products, which is made by Keima. Overture is a planning solution for wireless networks that is both powerful and flexible.

Overture is made by industry veterans with over 30 years collective experience making software for the telecommunications industry. It is the product of over 20 person-years of development and has proven itself in consultancies and national carriers around the world.

The company founders and product architects are still fully engaged with Keima and the product is in active development.

Overture Online is a different approach to telecoms software, and this is why...

Time for a Change

We took a long hard look at our industry of telecommunications software. Drawing on past experiences and after consultation with many engineers, we realized that change was necessary.

Yes, the engineering tools that we use everyday are powerful and valuable; we know that because we have seen most of them and even contributed to a few. However, the full potential of these tools is rarely realized for many reasons:

• The tools are too expensive
• Complex tools are hard to learn
• Poor support leads to missed deadlines and reduced confidence
• Tool management and procurement is difficult and time consuming
• Secret pricing makes it hard to budget for software and hard to compare products
• New features arrive long after you needed them

These failings in the tools that were specifically designed for telecoms engineering have meant that the most popular tools for network planning today are actually Excel and Google Earth. But these generic tools are not truly fit-for-purpose: they do not consider the complexities of the radio environment, they cannot accurately compare different technologies or deployment scenarios, they offer no insight into the causes of network problems, and they do not scale as your network grows. In short, they end up costing you money.

We set out to build a system that addresses the biggest problems in telecommunications engineering software. We used a modern development platform to build a flexible and scalable solution that could evolve rapidly to meet the needs of the engineers.

An Online Business

The first thing that is different about Overture is the extent to which we have embraced the Internet. Over-the-web installation and updates, simple online purchasing, and instant electronic support means that we can reach more customers more cheaply.

This is what allows us to keep our costs low and our customer satisfaction high. Obviously we are not the first business to do this, but we have the expertise required to make it work in our sector.

All About Process

Overture comes pre-loaded with a process that guides the user through all of the core planning activities. It is written by engineers, for engineers and allows you to be productive from day one.

New processes can be added through a modern scripting engine allowing for a custom fit to internal process-driven engineering. This enables organizations to increase efficiency for all of their planning activities. Any large organization will appreciate the ability to manage process while creating consistency and repeatability.

An Agile Platform

Telecommunications changes fast; new technologies, devices, and applications are coming out all the time, and it is up to the front-line engineer to make sure their network stays ahead of the game.

Overture has been designed from the ground up to be flexible and agile enough to keep pace with the telecoms market. We use cutting-edge software technologies and an open-platform philosophy to get the right tool to the right place at the right time.

Low Cost, Not Low Quality

The telecommunications market demands increasingly efficient and cost-effective engineering. This means that engineers demand lower cost tools to fit within leaner budgets. Our lower overheads allow us to deliver low prices with no compromise of product quality. In fact we believe our products are better, faster, and cheaper than the alternatives, and with a single click you can install the product and find out for yourself.
