NGOSS


NGOSS is the industry’s only true standard for development and deployment of easy to integrate, flexible, easy to manage OSS/BSS components. NGOSS defines for Service Providers and their suppliers a comprehensive, integrated framework for developing, procuring and deploying operational and business support systems and software. NGOSS is provided as a set of documents that make up a toolkit of industry-agreed specifications and guidelines that cover key business and technical areas, and a defined methodology for use of the tools. NGOSS uses a “Lifecycle” approach to development of management systems, based on clear definition of business processes, specification and architecting software and systems to automate those processes, and compliance of those systems against NGOSS test criteria.
