Clarity has wrapped its Network Inventory System (NIS) project for broadband provider Telekom Malaysia Berhad.
Telekom Malaysia initiated a major OSS transformation in 2006 to support the rapid growth of broadband services, to maintain competitiveness with agile new entrants to the Malaysian market and to enable the rapid and accurate deployment of new services to its customers. Clarity’s unified OSS (inventory module) continues to be deployed in phases to support these goals. The completion of the NIS is an important milestone, the companies say, and provides TM with a network-wide view of their assets and inventory data across one system.
Clarity’s unified OSS solution already manages TM’s logical and physical network infrastructure. The OSS has centralized TM’s engineering workflow processes and provisioning for IP, telephony, broadband and narrowband services, allowing TM to plan for and monitor maintenance activities and outages and to ensure end-to-end integrated workflow between order management and inventory. To date, Clarity’s OSS has replaced over 12 legacy inventory databases that were migrated in 36 months and currently interfaces with more than 22 customer management and provisioning systems.
Exposing the single NIS into the strategic, service-oriented architecture will further reduce the cost and lead-time for integration of new systems and the time-to-market for new services, Clarity said.
