3. Individual Solutions =Fragmented OSS Information is fragmented, prone to errors and inaccuracies. Manual data management by different departments and personnel. Unable to support the anticipated exponential growth of data. Architecture is not economically scalable.
4. What We Expect to Attain? Simplification of the complexity of merging legacy and Next Generation Networks. Increase the accuracy and consistency of information and make it more accessible. A reduction of operating and capital expenditure through efficiency. Improved levels of customer service through improved quality assurance processes.
5. Transformation = Survival “If the environment about you is changing but you aren’t, you’re vulnerable to extinction; and not only do you need to evolve to survive but to thrive in existing and future environments.” Keith Willetts Chairman and CEO, TM Forum
