CUSTOMER-CENTRIC OSS

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT / NETWORK UPGRADES

The ultimate goal of costly network upgrades lies in providing a better service for end customers. When solving network congestion problems, beside pure
technical parameters, customer perception of network performance is a critical factor that should be measured and taken into account. The process requires
a high level of network management automation, which is needed to implement a strategy of agile network development basing on customer demand and to
limit the costs of infrastructure transformations.

SERVICE QUALITY MANAGEMENT / ASSURANCE

Service quality cannot be based solely on technical KPIs, but must look at the network through the eyes of the customers. Therefore it is essential that service
providers can easily correlate various technical parameters with their influence on customer experience. This way, CSPs will be able to introduce pro-active network
management and limit the number of customer complaints. The essence of this approach is in switching from network-centric fault management and performance
management systems towards customer-centric service assurance and service quality management systems.

SUCCESS
SERVICE FULFILLMENT

Customers expect their services to be introduced quickly, be innovative and exciting. The OSS system should be a platform that boosts service innovation, through
leveraging product and service catalog-driven fulfillment processes. The strategy of service innovation also requires redefining the CSP’s positioning against
OTT companies. This requires modifying the OSS into a platform that enables telecom operators to compete / collaborate with these significant market players.
