Network Asset Management Solutions to Reduce Business, Financial and Technical Risks for carriers, service providers and cable operators

Summary:

For carriers, service providers and cable operators, "triple-play" service — the delivery of combined IP video, voice and data over a single network — promises to present extraordinary opportunity, as well as heated competition for subscribers. Networks will soon be taxed with geometric increases in traffic, and maintaining service levels will be a top requirement for ensuring customer satisfaction and retention.

Accurately balancing demand and infrastructure build out requires extremely granular levels of network knowledge, as well as high-level, strategic management capabilities. Network asset management represents the next generation of software used to manage the large, growing and ever-more complex networks that will carry triple-play services. As opposed to the tactical, reactive orientation of traditional network management products, network asset management offers both a high-level, strategic view of network resources and an extremely granular view into the smallest components of network inventory.

Visionael Network Resource Manager (NRM) provides both of these capabilities. It is used to build and support the processes associated with effective delivery of triple-play services, and affords a comprehensive view of the network. Visionael NRM helps providers ensure success as they enter the high-stakes triple-play environment, allowing them to manage the rate at which they deploy new infrastructure and make services available for customers — mitigating the business, technical and financial risks associated with triple-play.
