Phased Implementations
x:akta
Standalone (phase I implementation)
Fast implementation, immediate results:
Customers need fewer staff to plan and operate their networks
from an inventory and planning perspective.
Less need for Site Audits.
Quick and reliable roll-out process
The equipment in the network is utilized more effectively.
Finding unused resources is easy.
x:akta Integrated in an OSS/BSS solution
(phase II, III... Implementation)
Fault Management, Trouble Ticketing, Performance Management
and Customer Care Solutions become more versatile and processes
can be streamlined.
Integration with Network Element Managers provides accuracy
in inventory and speeds up the network planning & provisioning
processes.
Network asset management becomes accurate, reliable and virtually
always up-to-date!
Reliable information
x:akta provides your organization with accurate
network information. Data is created and maintained in a single
source. x:akta includes equipment inventory, physical
and logical connectivity as well as capacity and service related
information. Data is automatically updated by reconciliation and
auto-discovery processes.
Planners and engineers use specific x:akta tools for generating
new data. Other users access the information via x:akta web-based
Business Applications.
Business benefits
x:akta solves the missing link between CRM and Billing.
Reliable network information compared with customer databases
and billing records identifies any inconsistencies and additional
revenues can be assured. Unused capacity becomes an asset - no
over-engineering.
Effective planning and provisioning tools shorten the TTM and
the TTC. The process-oriented planning speeds up network engineering
with higher quality results.
Process oriented planning and engineering
Your company standards and business rules drive the planning
and the engineering work when x:akta is implemented.
All the planning work is based on rules and templates. The work
progress can be readily supervised by the team leaders.
Planning output in x:akta is used for both manual
and automated activation of services.
Effective disaster recovery
Let's assume a router breaks down. A technician replaces the
hardware. But what happens with the configuration? Use x:akta
to load the configuration from the inventory database. It will
only take a few seconds.
What happens at a cable-cut? Which customers are affected? Which
circuits are protected? Can we re-route the traffic? How?
x:akta provides the necessary information and tools
to deal with the problem quickly. And you can inform your customers
before they start calling for help.
Future-proof, modern software
x:akta is an open, flexible product based on industry-leading
Microsoft and Oracle standards. x:akta is built on
the .NET framework, has a web-services API for platform independent
integration (eg. OSS/J, Linux etc.) and superior internal tools
for data input/output and reliable migration.
x:akta supports all standard data formats and provides
equipment libraries in XML.
