OSS Transformation

In a world going digital, OSSs cannot be excluded. Reply assists customer's transitions from physical to virtualized cloud environments, embracing greater levels of service innovation while staying competitive in fast-changing markets.

What is an Operations Support System (OSS)

Operating Support Systems are those Telco systems designed to help monitor, analyze, and manage telecom networks. The name refers to hardware and software tools used on the operations side of a telecommunications network. Thus, OSS consists of the actual network infrastructure as well as the software used to control the network. OSS enables Telco to preside over a variety of operational functions, such as: Network inventory, Fault management, Service provisioning, Configuration, Service assurance and Network planning.

Reply offering covers OSS Transformation journey, Inventory Creation & Assurance Solutions and Services, Service and Network Assurance and Access Virtualization & SDWAN Solutions.

OSS Transformation Journey

In a world going digital, Reply wants to help customers’ transition from physical to virtualized, cloud environments, embracing greater levels of service innovation, and stay competitive in fast-changing markets. Our journey together with the customers leads towards an end-to-end, zero-touch orchestration for traditional and digital services, including SDN/NFV, cloud, IoT and 5G, and automates operations across complex hybrid environments. Telco operators and service providers in general can win a faster service creation and delivery, while enhancing operational agility and obtaining a lower TCO.

The main benefits that can be achieved are the implementation of integrated processes in a single platform, the improvement of active SLAs target times and the reduction and optimization time and costs for the introduction of new technologies / network service

Network Inventory & Creation Solutions

Network Inventory provides the physical topology of the network and chooses the best matches for virtual machine and network functions. Data plane topology is fed to the SDN controller, which is crucial for effective virtualized and non-virtualized network function chaining.

Network Inventory and Creation System are innovative platforms supporting customers’ network creation process and Network inventory process.

How?

Automating a large amount of manual processes related to network analysis and creation
