Introduction

This PROJECT ESS update report Next Generation Operations Support Systems is the newest release in Dittberner Associates' PROJECT ESS multi-client study program. This report provides the following major categories of information and guidance:

Comprehensive description of generic applications and typical implementation of next generation OSS modules
Conceptual and technological advances in OSS
Indication of OSS pricing trends and market shares
Case studies of 14 pioneering telecom service providers' implementation experience with next generation OSS systems
Company overview and detailed product technical descriptions of 91 world-class next generation OSS systems offered on the world market
Conclusions and recommendations for carriers and OSS vendors

Readers of this report should know that Dittberner Associates is an independent telecommunications consulting firm that is owned by its employees, and accepts no long-term retainers or sales commissions from any supplier of telecommunications equipment or services. The principals of our PROJECT ESS team have worked together on this program for almost 25 years. Thus, readers of this report can be assured that our professional efforts have been used to present an objective, professional, and technically sound document.

Scope

This report is worldwide in scope. We have made special efforts to obtain information suppliers outside of North America. We also present next generation OSS products offering functionalities from a wide range of product application classes, rather than simply focusing on, for example, billing or customer care, thus making this report a comprehensive one.

There are many companies and products that offer OSS software that serves only a particular hardware, in other words, software that is platform-dependent, or software that offers only mediation devices. We have excluded companies products on purpose in order to focus on OSSs that are platform independent and offer at least five of the eighty module functionalities as defined by Dittberner Associates.
