Next Generation Networks Case Studies
|   Case Study – Integrating Outside Plant Processes under SOA in Oi - a Large Brazilian Telecom Operator
This case will present a methodology for applying e-TOM defined business processes into Oi, a large telecom operator in Brazil. This methodology proved to be very effective in order to integrate a very large operations scenario using SOA. We will present the main processes, the underlying architecture and the lessons learned. With the results of this work, Oi is now able to create new services and extending others to satisfy the needs of its competitive market.
Sergio Freitas has a degree in Electrical Engineering and works at Oi for the last 14 years. He is currently the OSS Service Fulfillment Manager at IT Department and has large experience in planning, design, development, integration and deployment of OSS. He also lectures Requirement Management at Santa Ursula University for Computer Engineering.
Next Gen and Beyond – Effective Strategies for Technology Transformation
For most providers the Next Generation Network is here, as well as, the task of managing and monetizing that asset while maintaining the legacy environment through its natural (end-of-) lifecycle. Transforming OSS/BSS infrastructure to handle new services without impacting existing revenue streams is paramount. Surmounting the challenge requires a multi-pronged approach focusing on data integrity, business process and systems architecture to bridge the gaps in existing systems and quantum leap towards managing an IT-like infrastructure.
Mounir is Director of Business Solutions Group and Chief Enterprise Architect at Tata Communications. He is responsible for global systems architecture and strategic IT transformation programs. He has 20 years of experience at leading Telecom and IT organizations in design, development, integration, and deployment of OSS/BSS and Information Management Systems.
Critical Networks - Recession Proofing your Business with a Next Generation Network
Whilst the economic downturn means businesses will rightly focus on reducing their costs, the balance they need to make is staying afloat without sacrificing the people, knowledge and skills that differentiate them from their competitors. A Next Generation Network can reduce infrastructure costs, provide greater bandwidth and better control that all help the bottom line. In addition, it can deliver an architecture which can enhance or enable the re-structure of businesses go to market strategies, supply chains or community of interest groups.

Summit Keynote: NGOSS as Part of NGN Transformation
NGOSS as part of NGN transformation
Next Generation Factory is the Deutsche Telekom network innovation program, covering all major transformational activities for the move to “All-IP”. It aims to enable superior customer experience, a faster and more flexible introduction of new services and a sustainable increase of efficiency in production.
NG Factory is an integrated company-wide program, consisting of several sub-programs with around 40 projects. It transforms all layers of the network, including core and access networks, the application layer as well as service and system management (NGOSS). It spans across all Deutsche Telekom business units, i.e. T-Home, T-Mobile and T-Systems. The program has a long-term focus for a sustainable transformation. Most of the new infrastructure will be in operation by the end of 2010. The decision on the subsequent migration will be based on business case and technological aspects.
The transformation of fixed and mobile networks, the parallel renewal of the BSS world and the additional requirements from product and service development put pressure on the OSS transformation. Nevertheless the move from hundreds of OSS legacy systems towards a homogeneous standards-compliant NGOSS world is crucial for a high level of automatization of the provisioning and assurance processes.
This presentation outlines the NGN transformation activities of Deutsche Telekom and the effects and requirements onto the OSS world. Transforming OSSs in a rapid changing environment is really a challenge.
Jürgen F. Hardt has been in the CTO division of Deutsche Telekom for five years. This area is put under the authority of Hamid Akhavan, a member of the executive board. Mr. Hardt is responsible for the group technology and production strategy. He is Program Director of the group NGN transformation program and transformation officer of NGOSS.

Next Generation Network Visions
| An Audience with Michael Matthews : Know Your Customer
Nokia Siemens Networks estimates that 20-30% of the users of a typical communications service provider generate 70-80% of customer lifetime value. But in extreme cases, 90% of profits come from just 10% of users – and about half of users are actually unprofitable and are not likely to ever generate positive lifetime value. It’s a compelling reason why communications service providers have been among the biggest investors in business intelligence and customer relationship management systems in recent years as they strive to become more “customer-centric” and, by extension, more competitive. The drive to maintain and grow profitability in highly challenging and dynamic markets demands a far more detailed picture of user data than the industry has traditionally enjoyed – and of course one of key aims is precisely to find out who the most profitable customers are in both consumer and business segments.
Michael J Matthews is Head of Strategy and Business Development at Nokia Siemens Networks.
He brings with him nearly 30 years of experience in the technology industry, and a strong
background in telecommunications, software, technology and innovation.
Michael was Chief Marketing Officer at Amdocs Inc, the leading provider of software and
services for many of the world’s largest communications service providers. During his 5 years at
Amdocs, he played a key role in leading the transformation of the company, addressing new
markets, expanding the product line, and evolving the channel to address the rapidly changing
needs of the telecom industry.
Summit Keynote: Developing Winning Business: Operational and Technical Transformation Strategies

In the current climate, the battle for the hearts, minds and wallets of customers is being won or lost today through value added services. Not all will win. In these challenging economic times, strong businesses get stronger and the weak disappear. Innovation, driven by customer focus, is the lifeblood of the communications industry.
In the UK communications market, there are 700 communications providers competing for customers. This means that differentiation can define success or failure in the marketplace.
Today, we are moving towards open platforms as a foundation of the move to web 2.0 services and differentiation is being delivered through services that are defined in software.
This software-driven environment enables a future built on platform strategies, rather than network strategies. It sees the re-use of assets and capabilities reach new levels. This is fundamental to transforming the role of the communications wholesaler and the key to future profitable growth.
In the web 2.0 world, customers have a simple need – the need to communicate with a person, an organisation or a machine. For the first time in our history it’s not all about telco.
Web 2. 0 is bringing together the best communications, IT, software and applications through efficient partnerships and convergence.
In her keynote presentation, Trudy will outline what BT is doing to exploit converging technologies, maximise customer growth and open up an environment that provides the value added services customers demand.

| An Audience with Michael Matthews : Know Your Customer
Nokia Siemens Networks estimates that 20-30% of the users of a typical communications service provider generate 70-80% of customer lifetime value. But in extreme cases, 90% of profits come from just 10% of users – and about half of users are actually unprofitable and are not likely to ever generate positive lifetime value. It’s a compelling reason why communications service providers have been among the biggest investors in business intelligence and customer relationship management systems in recent years as they strive to become more “customer-centric” and, by extension, more competitive. The drive to maintain and grow profitability in highly challenging and dynamic markets demands a far more detailed picture of user data than the industry has traditionally enjoyed – and of course one of key aims is precisely to find out who the most profitable customers are in both consumer and business segments.
Michael J Matthews is Head of Strategy and Business Development at Nokia Siemens Networks.
He brings with him nearly 30 years of experience in the technology industry, and a strong
background in telecommunications, software, technology and innovation.

Olaf Melber is the Head of Delivery Center Application Integration at Swisscom (Switzerland) Ltd. He is responsible for all integration and Business Process Management technologies (architecture, development, QA and support) within Process-IT department at Swisscom. This includes the responsibility for the BPM based order handling system of Swisscom.
Building Telecommunications Interoperability through Standards Convergence and Multi-Party Collaboration
Telecommunications Industry is rapidly expanding globally under a new business model that increases the need for 3rd party network access and greater interoperability across the Retail to Provisioning Network value chain. Likewise, increased competition and regulatory requirements require a flexible, repeatable Platform that can be deployed quickly and adapted to local market requirements.
The solution to these challenges is a standardized approach to a Service Oriented Architecture that is based on converged open standards and developed collaboratively with Industry Providers (FT) and Software providers of supporting applications and technology that drive business results.
Since mid 2008, Laurent has been the Head of Architecture, Processes & Technologies within Group IT Executive Committee, he plays an important role in IT transformation. Before, he held technical and executive positions in Network, R&D and IT. He graduated from Ecole Polytechnique in 1990, Telecom Paris in 1992 and got a PhD in computer science in 1998.
Jose Lazares is the Vice President of Applications Development and Product Strategy for the Applications Integration Architecture group focusing on delivering Oracle’s Enterprise SOA implementation of composite business processes across it’s portfolio of best of breed applications. Jose’s responsibilities include development and delivery of Pre-Built Process Integration Packs that support mission critical processes that span multiple user functions and applications.
Jose also leads Oracle’s adoption of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) via AIA’s Foundation Pack that provides customers with a scalable framework to build composite business processes that can be easily extended, deployed and governed at the data, process and user interface levels.
“It’s just SOA”
“It’s just SOA” is a common marketing pitch, but in an integrated B2B world how can you integrate with multiple SOA styles?
Cutting costs and agility require consistent yet flexible standard solutions for implementing SOA. NGOSS Blueprints demonstrate how differing Telco components can be integrated quickly utilising TMF products and tool based automation. NGOSS is real today, learn how it is managing a converged network using eTOM, SID TIP and TAM.
Steve works for BT, where his role is OSS Architecture. He also is involved with BT's SDK development and tools team. He is the BT principal rep for the TMF

Standards & Frameworks-Part 4
| Policy Based Networking – How to Avoid Driving Your Network Via the Rear View Mirror!
Would you drive your car using the rear view mirror? So why should your IP networks be different? Reliable, predictable and secure operation of IP networks is critical for service providers. It is paradoxical therefore that most IP networks continue to be configured, provisioned and managed without any comprehensive network policy mechanism. This presentation outlines how NGOSS framework can be applied to network management solutions for defining and enforcing network-wide policies for operational, security and regulatory needs.
Gary Testa is responsible for Intelliden's worldwide sales. He brings over 18 years of domestic and international sales management experience, encompassing software and hardware sales across Enterprise, Service Provider, Cable, and Mobile markets.

Standards & Frameworks-Part 4
| Policy Based Networking – How to Avoid Driving Your Network Via the Rear View Mirror!
Would you drive your car using the rear view mirror? So why should your IP networks be different? Reliable, predictable and secure operation of IP networks is critical for service providers. It is paradoxical therefore that most IP networks continue to be configured, provisioned and managed without any comprehensive network policy mechanism. This presentation outlines how NGOSS framework can be applied to network management solutions for defining and enforcing network-wide policies for operational, security and regulatory needs.

Transforming Network and Service Operations at Movistar Chile
Movistar Chile is the mobile part of the Telefonica group in Chile serving 6.8 million customers. In order to meet business requirements for operations staff efficiency, improved incident management and better multi-vendor management and integration, Movistar embarked upon a transformation in the Network Operations Center. This transformation resulted in reduced costs, greater effectiveness and higher customer satisfaction.
This presentation will describe the project undertaken from vendor selection, through network, vendors and services managed, to the benefits provided. The use of OSS through Java interface for trouble ticketing and TeMIP, a product from HP, will be addressed in detail.
ITIL & eTOM: Growing Together
Buidling on previous joint work, TM Forum and itSMF are developing closer integration between the eTOM and ITIL frameworks. Release 8,0 of the eTOM Business Process Framework embedded ITIL processes, and this panel session reports on ongoing activity including further convergence in the process area and extension to other areas of the TM Forum program (eg the SID Information Model). There will be a Q&A session with the chance to raise issues and questions for discussion.
Mike Kelly has worked with the TM Forum since its earliest days, and joined its staff some eight years ago. He is concerned with the technical collaboration program, including the Business Process Framework (eTOM), where he has been involved over its entire development and now acts as Subject Matter Expert. He is a frequent conference speaker and trainer on behalf of TM Forum for this work.
