Service Fulfillment Evolution - The starting point
On 2004 OSS architecture was chaotic and ineffective; the main problems were too many redundant
interfaces between systems and out-of-date technologies involving a lot of manual tasks in business
process.
The results were high operating costs, long order-to-delivery cycles, high customer dissatisfaction and
costly churn, an inability to adapt to change, high and unacceptable time for pilot product launch
• Legacy systems with an obsolete technology
• Business processes were fragmented across multiple
systems
• Information Base was duplicated and incomplete around
the contingent needs
• No standard Based Architecture
• Massive Use of Custom/ad Hoc solution

Technology & Operations
Information Technology
The Service Fulfillment Transformation Program in Telecom Italia enabled the following features:
• Ability to manage a converged services infrastructure
• A full integration between OSS systems based on Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
• A Business Process Framework (eTOM)
• An Enterprise-Wide Data Model (SID) that provides a comprehensive common information model for
telecom activities
• A deep rationalization of OSS systems and the closure of many legacy systems (NSD, ACL/IA, ACL/PS,
SOC/F, FLOLO, ...)
• Adoption of a Best-of-Breed Software Package with a deep Vendor relationship
• A Customer-Centric model supremacy in the Service Inventory (unique OSS consistency DB)

SOA
The result is a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based design, where, through a top-down approach
(based on the business processes analysis and decomposition) and a bottom-up approach (based on the
resources, service components and basic operations definition), is defined a set of common service components
reusable in different contexts and business processes.

Since 2004 Telecom Italia introduced new Integrated Order Manager following a scalable approach and progressively migrating
new classes of services and/or market segments. Different instances of IOM provide fulfillment of different services, managing
to support complex offers on distinct network access scenarios.
Order Gateway grants matching between Commercial orders and Technical Order processes, uncoupling customer requests by
single network configuration tasks; moreover Order Gateway provides order decomposition, high-level order orchestration and
message coherence towards CRM platforms.

Service Fulfillment Evolution - The Execution Roadmap
12. 12
Technology & Operations
Information Technology
Time to Market
Improvement
• An integrated OSS platform flexible to change (e.g. Easier software development, configuration & administration allow
more frequent rollouts, up to 12 configuration releases and 6 software releases per year)
• Reduced time to market for new services – more competitive (e.g. the average time for developing new Services reduced
from 6 to 2 months)
• Support for new networks and services
Customer Experience
Improvement
• SLA guarantees (97,5% long running delivery, 99,98% real time delivery)
• Common customer data store and information integrity (e.g. inventory data misalignment under 1%)
Cost Reduction
• Field Services Operational costs savings through higher automation (e.g. % automatic order
successfully delivered over 90% on standard voice services)
• Increased order throughput with a resulting reduction of costs per order
• Reduced costs of stovepipe systems
• Decreased software development effort (e.g. development productivity increased by 23% in
Function-Points per man-day)

Accenture Role in the OSS Transformation
Hinweis der Redaktion
I want to say something about OSS transformation on the one hand, and Next Generation Networks, because I believe that there is potential for confusion.
Although in some senses, NGNs impose an additional burden on OSS, in others they lessen it. For example, the all-IP core of an NGN will be less heterogeneous than a CGN.
The point that an NGN and the services it is to support may impose new requirements on OSS is undoubtedly valid, but it is nevertheless the case that OSS requirements associated with the deployment of an NGN will sometimes relate more to the commercial arrangements surrounding services supported by the NGN, some of which can only be delivered because of the NGN.
An example is support for B2B. It is important to emphasise that a fit-for-purpose OSS estate may be crucial in achieving maximum benefit from investment in an NGN, because Customer Experience and partnering arrangements are an integral part of the whole.
