Changes in telecom operational environment
 Explosive expansion of Internet and increase of users
 Advent of many CLECs and ISPs in Internet business areas

Competition

Sophiscated customer requirements

Various IP networks and services
 Various OSSs were developed to meet the needs for individual
networks and services management, which resulted in

Proliferation of independent legacy OSSs

Increased OPEX


Traffic volume management
 End-to-end flow management using NetFlow and/or sFlow


Integration of network and server management
Increased requirements for security management

Management of anomalous traffic

Separation of management network from service network

Why should current OSS be redesigned ?

Current Systems are



unable to support new IP services
Can not deliver premium services such as BoD, QoS/SLA guarantee and security
services
So many OSSs developed on different platforms and different data models


Data integrity and maintenance problems exist
System development/Integration takes relatively longer time and is very expensive
and risky  Can not meet time to market requirement

Our goal to a New OSS (NeOSS)

Reduced time to market by


Applying a common platform
Improved data integrity by

Applying a common data model
 Single data entry but multiple uses

Providing new functionalities to customers and operators





Single sign-on
Pre-ordering
Order tracking
SLA management
Enhanced work force management
On-line management of field information
One-stop handling of customer service requests
 Single point of contact

Reduction of service provisioning and fault handling time
