Part 1: Change of view
What does re-definition of “telco” mean for B/OSS?

5. A new view of telco Telco as a set of data Portable across HW platform
Stored in B/OSS

6. Telco as a collection of apps
SDN controller apps
NFV appliances
Legacy apps
All controlled by B/OSS

7. Why app portfolio is so important
The only real competetive differentiator between telcos

8. Apps: Evolving portfolio
Constant improvement
Rapid deployment of new apps
Automated service activation

9. Apps: Multi-Source
Flexibility in app choice
Different vendors

10. Apps: Monetization Usage or subscription charges Fair usage policy
Real-time charging
Overdraft protection

Comprehensive and rapidly evolving
Multi-source
Revenue generating

12. Part 2: Functionality change
The new functionality demanded from B/OSS

13. The path to B+OSS

14. Programming the services
Net config vs. service config
Who will do the translation?

15. Babylon tower of APIs Variety of “northbound” API
Multi-vendor flexibility

16. Should B/OSS be a NFV app?
Scalability
Reliability
Cannot be migrated fully (or at least not to the same cloud)

17. Case study: PortaOne
Move to private cloud
300+ carriers

18. Dealing with legacy Conversion of existing customer data
Supporting the migration process
Co-existing with legacy or specialized HW platforms

19. B+OSS with Telco Cloud Automated service activation and management
Network configuration based on the “Service”
“Multi-lingual”

20. Part 3: Operations Change
The change required from humans, who develop and operate B/OSS

21. Admins in software telco
Rapid service roll-out
Stability while making changes to the network
New breed of engineers: DevOps

22. B+OSS: Human factor
Agile development process to support fast service roll-out
Continuous integration to ensure quality
Advanced configuration management

23. B+OSS for Software Telco
New architecture to support rapid service delivery
Extended integration work with multiple vendors
Agile development approach
Well worth the efforts!
