A framework for an integrated network management system base on Enhanced Telecom Operation Map (eTOM)

Abstract

This paper provides a summary of development process for the conceptual design of an integrated network management system (NMS) platform for incumbent with a huge legacy system. Based on proven international standards such as Enhanced Telecom Operation Map (eTOM) [1] and New Generation Operations System and Software (NGOSS) [2] framework an approach has been develop to address the current situation of incumbent as well as to make provision for NGN. In other world, the solution has been developed in a way that a relatively smooth transformation/ development of the existing fragmented management landscape towards an integrated NMS is possible. A service centric concept has been deployed for our conceptual design. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
