Total Network Service – Case study I


Service Assurance for a European Customer
Page 1

Objective Challenges
Consolidation of two separate NOCs being • Lack of stable service assurance process; no
operated out of two different locations into a pro-active monitoring
single NOC, followed by running the day-to-day • Lack of well-defined SLAs & standard
operations of the NOC processes resulting in sub-optimal performance
• High cost of operation
• High operational complexity and minimal
control on NOC activity

Project Scope
• Phase 1: Design of consolidated NOC
[Voice, Tx & Data] – 2 Months
• Phase 2: Consolidation of NOC operations
[Voice, Tx & Data] – 1 Month
• Phase 3: Operate NOC onshore – 6 Months
• Phase 4:NOC operation from offshore (India)

KPIs & SLAs Key Achievement & Results

• Number of tickets received and resolved • >90% of the tickets resolved by NOC without
escalation to technical operations
• Number of tickets proactively raised and
resolved based on severity • Advanced and consolidated NOC with reduced
MTTR
• Number of tickets escalated to technical
• Stable service assurance process based on
operations for L3 support
eTOM standards: Use of proven methodologies
/frameworks like BPM, SIPOC, FMEA, RACI to
• Number of tickets solved in SLA without design and develop the NOC processes
escalation to technical operations
• Reduction of faults from 700-800/ month to
• Tickets raised <15mins of the occurrence of 100/ month through preventing re-occurrence
the alarm by designing effective, corrective and
preventive action to ensure redundancy in all
• 3rd party follow-ups as per agreed time lines elements

• Identification of singular failure points and
plugging the same
