Convergent Operators Business Challenges

As a result of mergers and/or acquisitions of Mobile and Fixed Network Operators and ISP’s, the telecom industry is now witnessing the emergence of a new breed of Convergent operators.

With convergence brings the requirement to rationalize two disassociated technologies and domains into a single, unique network which allow subscribers to access, manage, and send/receive content and applications interchangeably from any device including mobile phones, desktop PCs, televisions and home networks.

Convergent Operator Challenges:

Protect current revenue on Fixed and Mobile services in parallel with the successful introduction of converged services
Move away from the silo based organization by rationalizing processes, IT and OSS systems
Bring together Fixed and Mobile teams and processes around one single convergent culture
Address the specific needs of Fixed and Mobile Network management operations
Limit and control Fixed-Mobile convergence underlying costs in order to be profitable and then fully take the benefit from new generating revenue services that will be introduced with the convergence

How MYCOM Addresses these Challenges

MYCOM’s answer to these challenges is to adopt Next Generation OSS (NGOSS) systems that rely on a Technology Neutral Architecture (TNA). This will avoid convergent operators fragmenting their processes and systems (which are usually already fragmented as a result of previous technology evolutions), and logically limit underlying costs whilst adapting to change.

Adopting NIMS-PrOptima™ (MYCOM’s OSS Software System) will bring the following benefits to convergent operators:

Unite Fixed and Mobile organizations around a single solution
Serve Fixed and Mobile user needs
Cope with specific issues of data mediation for Fixed networks (SNMP) and Mobile (mainly file based)
Allow the smooth integration of converged service management whilst Fixed and Mobile domains can continue to be managed independently
Enable transparent business process transformation
Equally answer Fixed and Mobile user requirements due to specific KPIs, reports, scenarios and modules (e.g. GIS, NW planning, profiling, DSS).
Limit Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as well as OPEX/CAPEX expenditures that usually increase with the complexity of a Network
Future proof and scalable in order to adapt to future business and technology changes
