NetCracker Technology's solution is fundamentally built to support new and next generation services as well as the management of the transition from the legacy services to the next generation.

Key features of NetCracker Technology's solution that support Tier 1 OSS Transformation initiatives include:

1. Service Catalog driven approach to OSS

2. Resource Catalog (Device Library) driven approach to Network Evolution

3. Pre-Integrated Service Catalogue, Service Design, Service Instance and Service Topology

4. Breadth and Depth of Inventory Management

5. Inter-Domain Management driven Migration Strategy

6. Unified Service Modeling across Service Fulfillment, Inventory Management and Service Management

7. Service Catalogue and Service Instance driven Service Impact Analysis

8. Service Catalogue and Resource Utilization driven Design and Planning

9. Meta-Data driven solution

10. Proven Scalability

11. 100% J2EE Software Architecture

12. Open and Published API's

13. Flexibility and ability to leverage existing OSS's

Service Catalogue driven approach to OSS

NetCracker Technology's OSS solution takes a Service Catalogue driven approach to OSS. This approach provides the necessary framework of customer facing services, network facing services, component services, physical and logical resources and the relationships between them. It simplifies the modeling of new services and consequently the introduction of new services.

Resource Catalogue (Device Library) driven approach to Network Evolution

NetCracker Technology takes a Device Library driven approach to Network Evolution. This provides for easy introduction of new devices (Network Elements as well as IT Infrastructure) into the network in alignment with the Network Evolution. NetCracker Technology provides a rich set of devices already modeled (40,000 device components) as well as the toolset necessary to model new devices.

Pre-Integrated Service Catalogue, Service Design, Service Instance, and Service Topology

In conjunction with the Service Catalogue driven approach to OSS, NetCracker Technology's solution provides for pre-integrated Service Catalogue, Service Design, installed base of Services (Service Instance) and the topology of the installed Service. As Customer Services continue to climb to higher layers of the OSI stack, relationships between the different components of the service become more and more logical. In addition, Tier 1 Telecoms environments often have "service silo-ed" OSS's. NetCracker Technology's pre-integrated Service Catalogue, Service Design, Service Inventory and Service Topology allows for the introduction of the next generation services without having to consolidate and retire the existing systems as the first step.

NetCracker Technology takes the approach of a single point of service modeling. NetCracker Technology's Service Catalogue is unified across its Inventory Management, Service Design and Service Impact capabilities. This ensures that the service model that delivers the service is also the service model that correlates and assesses the impact of alarms and events (like change events) and Trouble Tickets during Network Service Assurance.
