Network automation

Efficiency in transport network operations TNC2010, Vilnius, May 2010 Thomas Schneider Dieter Will

Network operation challenges  Service providers must increase revenue and limit operational spending  Rapidly launch, deliver and assure a new generation of services  Transform to a converged service-aware network

 Traditional solutions do not allow to keep pace with today’s requirements  Manual processes are too slow and error prone  Reactive problem detection leads to dissatisfied customers  Back-office system integration is expensive and time-consuming

Resolve network operation issues before they affect profitability
