Description

Back office systems – application software that telecom service providers use for managing everything from fiber deployment to billing – are enjoying a surge in visibility as public networks are transformed from static one-wire, one-service infrastructures to dynamic multi-service, multi-media next generation IP networks. Where traditionally the Operations Support Systems and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) trailed, and were often independent of, the implementation of network services, a sea change is occurring in the way that services are deployed and the way that service providers (and their systems) must adjust.
