Abstract

To adapt at the new market, telecommunications service providers (carriers) need to supply a larger variety of low cost and high availability services, as well as speed in the development and delivery new value added services and control. Therefore, carriers need to implement Operation Support Systems (OSS) able to attend the customer's new needs and market opportunities quickly, but preserving the existing infrastructure of network elements and management systems. Thus, the market requires a system which is easily adaptable to carrier's conditions, employing plug and play, re-usable components and open and distributed architecture concepts to achieve scalable systems, with high performance data acquisition, routing processing, data analysis, configuration control, scheduling, control features, and performance guarantees, all of these functions operating with high availability. This paper proposes a differentiated approach to implement an OSS, based on best practices of open system architecture, in order to comply with the requests of the modern telecommunications market.
