Service-oriented business integration and management in telecom
Xinyu Wang, Jianchu Kang · 2005
With the new sophisticated relationships established among the telecom service providers, equipment vendors, sales/marketing departments and clients, the telecom service providers and the telecom companies are faced with the problem of how to meet their clients' demands with fewer expenses and in shorter time periods. The service-oriented integration (SOI) method may be viewed as an essential and useful way to solve this problem. This paper, following the principles and technologies provided by NGOSS (2004), has presented a new service-oriented integration platform, that allows various heterogeneous telecom software systems to work together according to some sequence stipulated by business processes; in addition, this paper has also discussed a service-oriented analysis and design (SOAD) (Olaf Zimmerm et al.) solution that made a clear relationship between the telecom services and components; and described a simple service process management framework that might be used for managing service processes for telecom enterprises.
