NGOSS - software for New Generation Operation Systems

Aktavara's company approach is to provide Telecom Operators with
       • Flexible and open
       • Process Driven
       • Model-based
       • Standardized

         software for New Generation Operation Systems (NGOSS)

Aktavara software supports industry-agreed specifications and guidelines that cover key business and technical areas including in particular those established at the Telemanagement Forum:

• Business Process Automation (eTOM)
• Systems Analysis (SID)
• Solution Design & Integration (TNA)
• Multi-Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI)
• Conformance Testing
• Procurement & Implementation

Business Process Framework

The eTOM is a standardized Business Process Framework.

This gives guidance in the development of business processes and in the automation of processes for

• Operational efficiency
• Customer focus
• Service quality

Information Framework

SID (Shared Information/Data model) defines information/data definitions and models.

Domains that are included in Release 1 are
       • Customer
       • Product (Product and Product Instance)
       • Resource (Equipment, Resource, and Network Service)

Common Business Entities to be covered in future releases include
       • Sales
       • Marketing
       • Work
       • Business Management

The SID model can be viewed as a companion model to the eTOM, in that it provides a common information/data language from a data perspective. Teamed with the eTOM the SID model also provides both a process and data view.

Integration Framework

Aktavara is a true advocate of Technology Neutral Architecture, TNA. Flexibility, openess, Industry standard Components, best practices in Software Development and total Vendor independency have always been central in our approach.

Multi-Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI)

Service Providers must deliver new services and products more effectively – faster and cheaper – than ever before in an environment that requires inter-working between many different Vendors, Technologies, and Systems.

MTOSI (Multi-Technology Operations System Interface) describes a standardized reference structure to connect these components together.

x:akta supports all of the Inventory and Lifecycle requirements stated in the first release of the MTOSI Business Agreement, the majority of them at a detailed level, and the remainder at a conceptual but easily implementable level.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and XML web services enable sustainable interfaces and interoperability within standards-based OSS/BSS solutions.

x:akta's openly accessible business logic layer can deliver complex information in a properly structured way to any other integration point via robust interfaces (as opposed to db-style integrations).

Automated Network Lifecycle Management

Aktavara supports NGOSS interoperability based on Contracts and Components. This structure permeates the concept of NGOSS Lifecycle, relating Business to Operations and providing traceability throughout the NGOSS Lifecycle.

x:akta's software evolution has been specifically driven by the goals that are driving the ITU-T management recommendations for interoperability and the TMF's business process standardisation efforts, within the overall framework of multi-service operators' business processes.
