The Challenge:

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, the Multi-Technology Operations System Interface, is a single standard that provides the “glue” to connect these components together.

The Benefits:
Improved Service Delivery across Diverse Networks
  • Equipment Vendors
    • Reduced Development Costs
    • Faster TTM for Equipment Capabilities
    • Lower Deployment Risks
  • Service Providers
    • Reduced Integration Costs
    • Faster TTM for New Service Rollout
    • Increased Vendor Choice
  • Software Vendors
    • Reduced Development and Relationship Costs
    • Faster TTM for OSS Delivery
    • Easier Maintenance and Testing
  • System Integrators
    • Faster TTM for Integrated Solutions
    • Simplified Interoperability Testing
    • Reduced technical skills and training requirements

MTOSI and NGOSS Realization

  • Leads to fewer interfaces to develop, integrate, deploy and maintain
  • Allows one to change the underlying support without changing the business interactions (e.g., switch from JMS message style to HTTP RPC style while the business aspect of the interface remains the same)
  • Traceability to eTOM and the NGOSS lifecycle
  • Allows for inter-working with other interface models via SID mediation
