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
