Now You Can Accelerate Next-generation IP Service Deployment Using Visionael Service Automation Suite

Summary:

Communications service providers (CSPs) face monumental challenges as the market responds to today's cable, wireline, and wireless competition. Once static service-specific networks must now also deliver VoIP, wireless, cable television, video, game, music and other new and advanced services. Savvy providers are demanding more powerful tools and solutions to effectively manage and automate new and advanced services across the same network systems.

Spiraling demands on both legacy and upstart provider networks have prompted the need for New Generation Operations Support Systems (NGOSS). Providers can fulfill their customers' needs under one umbrella, and customers benefit from lower overall bundled pricing, convenience and speed. The challenge lies in efficiently and effectively managing these new, large-scale service deployments while still maintaining a lean and competitive business model.

The advent of IP-MPLS has made possible the building of end-to-end services management over multi-service, multi-vendor networks. Visionael believes that the coming network services integration and optimization are only possible by aligning the stars of IP-MPLS and the elevated importance of OSS/BSS integration. These changes have opened up the possibilities for a single solution in one-stop service fulfillment for next-generation services.

The Visionael Service Automation Suite enables communication service providers to accelerate time to revenue through the automation of service rollouts over IP networks. Using the Visionael suite, telecom providers can more quickly design, deploy, provision and activate new services—including next-generation voice, data, mobile and video offerings such as IP television (IPTV), IP telephony (IPT) and voice-over IP (VoIP). The suite also allows CSPs to roll out digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAM), allowing CSPs to provide broadband IP services to multiple customers over one line.

The suite provides an integrated, best-of-breed repository-based inventory solution that automates services at each entity and enables end-to-end IP service management. Our automation capabilities bring flow-through provisioning and IP service activation to reality, with seamless BSS and NGOSS integration.
