OVERVIEW
To succeed in today's economic climate, network managers must migrate their existing operations support systems (OSSs) to next-generation platforms that support the emerging voice/data converged network-all while meeting ever-more stringent customer demands. They are confronted with the need to reduce operational costs while augmenting revenue and increasing network efficiency and quality of service (QoS). Operations Support Systems: Solutions and Strategies for the Emerging Network, published by the International Engineering Consortium, focuses on the innovations and strategies that will shape the future of effective OSS and network management.
Service providers today are being asked to deliver multiple services to as many customers as possible with the highest QoS. To keep revenue high, providers must deliver diversity of services, consistently high value, quality customer care, competitive prices, and smooth provisioning, trouble-shooting, and service maintenance. Choosing the right OSS will help deliver on these demands.
Operations Support Systems: Solutions and Strategies for the Emerging Network presents the perspectives of a wide variety of leading industry professionals experienced in dealing with the challenges of managing new applications and services, reducing costs while increasing overall operational efficiency, and identifying and meeting customer expectations. These industry experts offer practical solutions that will help managers advance to the next generation of OSSs.
The report analyzes multiple business strategies for enhancing profitability and assuring revenue. It focuses on existing and emerging OSS architectures, infrastructure, and solutions in wireless as well as emerging broadband environments. It also examines service provisioning, QoS, and customer care. Furthermore, the report explores OSS convergence and integration, and the migration to next-generation technologies and systems, and it highlights current and developing OSS and network-management standards specifications and initiatives.
Operations Support Systems: Solutions and Strategies for the Emerging Network is intended to provide unique and informed insights into the challenges involving OSSs today and the solutions and strategies that are being developed to meet those challenges.
