Catalyst Program

Orlando 2008


New! Watch this Catalyst's Presentation - The primary focus of the Catalyst was to demonstrate, document, and promote the use of the Prosspero-certified OSS/J Trouble Ticket (TT) interface specification to facilitate incident management between service providers and their enterprise customers and enterprise partners, including users of multiple versions of the TT API and users of other trouble resolution specifications. In scope, the Catalyst implemented SID-based harmonization between multiple versions of OSS/J trouble ticke
 

The key purpose of this catalyst project was to promote the possibility of creating new VAS applications based on the intelligence that is derived out of customer SLAs for flexible device description for user/ subscriber. These SLAs are derived for a personalized experiences of service that are planned and managed for creation, configure and use. The industry standard data acquisition models were discussed along with consolidation and preparedness methodologies to support the user/ subscriber requested SLAs. The user/ subscriber requests are validated extensively with reference to the boundary of the requested SLAs and studied for feasibility
 

The key purpose of the series of joint catalyst projects between TMF members and DMTF members is to demonstrate the co-existence and interoperability between SID, CIM and TIP based management systems through realization of NGOSS contracts and using unified mapping methodology between different Information, Data Models and various interfaces in the context of the end-to-end management of next generation networks. This series will build to cover end-to-end management of Customer Experience and SLA.
 

The objective of this Syndicated Services Catalyst was to demonstrate a new concept that standardizes event generation and subscription across Service Providers domains to facilitate service syndication and e2e management. Attaining this objective is a means to advance the work on the SDF service model (service lifecycle management interfaces) and the SDF management.
 

This catalyst focused on Pro-active assurance for the quality of End to End(e2e) Customer Experience. It showed the key technology enablers needed to is to assure e2e SQM across a value network of co-operating partners.
 

Several catalysts over the past five years have applied the concepts of BPM (service and process orchestration, monitoring, legacy integration and end-to-end process management) to address these requirements primarily for new services deployment. This catalyst built on that work and showed how BPM can be used to support migration from a “Legacy” to a “Greenfield” environment over an extended period (e.g., not a cold cutover) in three ways: • 1. How to leverage services from the legacy environment within the Greeenfield to create a “blended” solution • 2. How to support migration of customers, contracts, and products from a legacy to
