“NGOSS distilled” by John Reilly and Martin Creaner outlines how all the NGOSS components fit together and how today's telecom solution designers can bring immediate benefits to their businesses by adopting NGOSS.
Written by two of the world's leading authorities on the subject – Reilly, an advisory product architect and principal member of the technical staff for MetaSolv Software Inc. and Creaner, vice president and CTO of the Telemanagement Forum – “NGOSS distilled” gives a step-by-step explanation of the core NGOSS components including:
• eTOM: the enhanced Telecoms Operations Map is an industry-agreed set of integrated business process descriptions, used for mapping and analyzing operational processes and created with today's customer-centric market in mind.
• SID: the Shared Information and Data model is a comprehensive information architecture for the telecom industry.
• NGOSS Integration Framework: the core architectural principles for designing an NGOSS compliant solution.
“NGOSS distilled” describes NGOSS in easy-to-grasp terminology. It also explains how to use each of the component parts of NGOSS to gain immediate business value, and reinforces this with some practical case studies of how this has been done successfully. Learn how to use the SID model to aid new development projects or as an application integration framework, or how to use the eTOM to map your existing operational processes and develop new process flows.
“NGOSS distilled” is destined to become an essential reference guide for anyone embarking on the road to improve their OSS/BSS infrastructure.
Reilly is also the co-chair of the TeleManagment Forum's SID model project and the program lead for the OSS/J Community's Core Business Entity Model project as well as a member of the OSS/J product team.
Creaner has been working and advising in the telecoms industry for 20 years. Prior to joining the TeleManagement Forum, he held a number of executive positions with BT and Motorola Inc. Creaner is also the chairman of Selatra Ltd., a mobile games developer/publisher for the global marketplace.
