New OSS/BSS Shopping List for 2007: Part 1 - Integrated Capacity and Network Planning - An Advisory Note
Enterprise Management Associates, Feb 2007, Pages: 6
The OSS market boomed in the late 1990s, then collapsed in the early 2000s and is growing again today. OSS market models have evolved from FCAPS to the TeleManagement Forum’s Telecom Operations Map (TOM) to the Enhanced TOM (eTOM), reflecting a greater awareness of the need to integrate communications service provider (CSP) network operations issues with business objectives and processes. The eTOM reflects 72 specific areas of need (and opportunity) inside a CSP, and this Advisory Note spotlights a new type of offering that cuts across a number of those areas: Integrated Capacity and Network Planning. A number of the world’s top CSPs are deploying it and key vendors providing it include VPIsystems, OPNET and WANDL.
The last decade in the operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) market has been a wild ride. IT and network professionals at today’s communications service providers (CSPs) have come out the other end of what was at times a dark tunnel—smack into the blinding glare of a global communications revolution that is transforming everything we thought we knew about doing business. Throughout 2007 we will take the opportunity in selected Advisory Notes to introduce some newer approaches and solutions that are 'not your father’s OSS'—which is the most important reason they should be on your shopping list as we hurtle forward together.
