OSS deals with critical issues of operators

OSS deals with critical issues of operators:

•Order management systems allow operators to coordinate the process of configuring the network to deliver the services ordered by a customer.
•Provisioning systems allow operators to turn up (activate) services on the network/service infrastructure.
•Inventory systems allow operators to accurately track their network assets, and assign those assets to customers.
•Mediation systems allow operators to determine service usage.
•Rating systems allow operators to determine how much to bill based on the service usage for a particular customer.
•Network management systems allow operators to detect and isolate network failures, and quickly restore service.
•Service assurance systems allow operators to correlate network performance with service quality requirements, and appropriately communicate and compensate customers for any disruption.
•EAI systems allow operators to quickly integrate diverse support systems and network elements.
