11.00 eTOM framework as a key component of process re-engineering during implementation of a network planning system.
Jakub Zaluski-Kapusta, Head of OSS Consulting, COMARCH and Heinz Wudtke, Team Manager Processes & Support, E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH & Co. KG
Implementation of an e2e network planning system is a challenge for an organization, especially when, together with IT, the processes are re-engineered. One of the most important challenges is checking the quality and completeness of the processes, keeping in mind the need to stay as close to standards as possible. E-Plus and Comarch used the eTOM framework to re-map all the old processes, and then designed the new system architecture and new processes based on that eTOM framework. This presentation will outline the story of the project.

12.30 Deploying Frameworx at PT Inovação
Alexandre Laranjeira, Head of Mediation & Activation OSS Division OSS Department, PT Inovacao
To help implement operational processes efficiently and reduce costs, PT Inovacao provided a solution based on a single mediation system for IT and Telecom Networks with autodiscovery and reconciliation functions, capable to ensure a more accurate centralized inventory (CMDB). The aim was to reduce problems in provisioning, performance and problem management processes, caused by network inventory inconsistencies.

A solution was developedbased on a suite of integrated operational system software (OSS) products, called NOSSIS, following international best practices. Standard compliance and TM Forum’s Frameworx (NGOSS) were used. NOSSIS uses TM Forum reference models: the Information Framework (SID), the Multi-Technology Network Model (MTNM), the Business Process Framework (eTOM) and the Application Framework (TAM).
In this case COTS products were also deployed: Network Activator for autodiscovery and network mediation; and the NETWIN module for reconciliation.
