| New Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS) is the telecom industry’s only true standard for development and deployment of OSS/BSS (Operations/Business Support Systems) that are easy to integrate, flexible, and easy to manage throughout their lifecycle. The Shared Information/Data Model is a corner stone of NGOSS providing the tools and language to model corporate data from the highest level right down to inclusion in software solutions.
This course provides an overview of NGOSS and three of its cornerstones: the Enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM), the SID, and the Technology-Neutral Architecture. It demonstrates the inherent and strong relationships between the SID and the overall NGOSS architecture and demonstrates how SID is used as the ‘Language’ of NGOSS. The SID framework is explained in detail and students are taken on a guided tour of the currently developed SID domains. | |

| This course is intended for people actively engaged in the analysis and design of OSS/BSS solutions using NGOSS and the SID. In particular people involved in information modeling and solution architectures. It is a pre-requisite for SID certification. | | Pre-requisites: | Familiarity with UML or other modeling methods desirable; however at UML tutorial is provided if necessary. | | Length: | Half day | | Upon completion, delegates will be able to: | - Describe the need and benefits of NGOSS;
- Describe the relationship between the SID and the NGOSS architecture;
- Provide an overview of the SID framework;
- Use one or more SID model addenda for reference in the analysis and design phases of a solution;
- Apply SID modeling patterns to extend the SID;
- Begin to use the SID for real analyses and development of OSS/BSS components.
| | Agenda: | - NGOSS and SID;
- The SID Framework;
- Documenting the SID;
- SID/eTOM mappings and their importance;
- Scenario-based SID model walkthrough;
- Getting started with the SID;
- SID in action;
- SID futures.
| | As with all official TM Forum courses, certificates of achievement will be issued | |

Wayne Tackabury is a principal engineer at Mirror Image Internet in Tewksbury, MA. In this role, he is currently adapting NGOSS design techniques and information strucural elements to monitoring and management of a worldwide content data network. He has been involved directly with the NGOSS SID team for several years, with a particular emphasis in resource and service representation and management. Wayne spent over ten years involve with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), focusing on network management and MIB design. He has been associated the authorship of two IETF RFC's and numerous Internet Drafts. A graduate of University of California at Santa Cruz, Wayne has over 25 years of network and information software design and implementation experience. | | |
