The PROviding Fast InnovaTive Services (PROFITS) Catalyst Showcase demonstrates rapid service introduction, including aspects of the service development required for service fulfillment, assurance and billing. This is accomplished by use of an enhanced service model that integrates high-level services with the underlying network and related business process items. The service model will be demonstrated in the context of the appropriate TM Forum enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM®) processes for a selected set of scenarios.
The PROFITS catalyst project is focused on:
- A flexible ordering process that can be applied to many high-level services with different underlying network architecture and technology, and/or dependant services
- Service object modeling to abstract and separate the customer-facing concerns from the network and service implementation issues
- Self-servicing and customer care of high-level services must be independent of management of the underlying network technologies (wireless, broadband, etc.) or the services it depends on (directory, DNS,)
- Integration with third-party providers with minimal (ideally, no) manual intervention for service provisioning and assurance
