7. SOC in NCO Based on the eTOM model
Non voice SOC already established in NCO under Selby Khuzwayo
Need for a BB SOC to drive service delivery across the value chain
At a high level the purpose of the BB SOC will be to improve customer’s experience of the Telkom broadband offering. The BB SOC can be contrasted with the functions of the NOC that are primarily concerned with network operations; its secondary responsibilities are network provisioning and network installation and maintenance. The associated service operations are handled by a Service Operations Centre and customer relations management.
