Data Integration with OSS/BSS

Application integration in OSS/BSS is costly and time-consuming, but necessary in order to innovate to introduce converged services and enhance the customer experience. And while many continue to wonder why it's so difficult when we have terrific tools to help and a lot of smart people working on this problem, some researchers have decided, "It's the data, stupid." Afterall, if data and information models are out of sync then you will still have very high integration costs

This webinar is an informative discussion about the shift towards a data-centric approach to OSS/BSS integration. It discusses the need for a common information model, also referred to as a common data model. The webinar features Dr. Lorien Pratt, Director, Global OSS/BSS Competitive Strategies, Stratecast Partners - a division of Frost and Sullivan - who presents the results of market research they conducted on the topic of OSS/BSS integration with top wireline and mobile service providers from around the world. Their research indicates that a common data model approach is an important growing trend among service providers, and that they have found that it strikes a good balance between benefit and practicality.

Replay this webinar and hear how using a common information model is essential to OSS/BSS integration and realizing the benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Here also how semantic data validation, combined with a common dat model and SOA, bring all the ingredients together to finally reduce the costs of OSS/BSS Integration.

Topics presented during this archived webinar include:

  • How data integration impacts OSS/BSS.
  • Practical approaches taken by service providers to tackle the "data problem" in SOA.
  • How to use industry standards, including the TM Forum’s SID model, to reduce the "integration tax" for OSS/BSS.
  • How a semantic integration tools such as DataXtend SI can improve data integration projects.

Semantic Data Validation

The webinar, Data Integration with OSS/BSS, also features, John Petrie, VP, DataXtend, Progress Software. John introduces you to Progress® DataXtend™ SI (Semantic Integrator). DataXtend SI delivers breakthrough semantic data integration for SOA. It supports a "common model" architecture for integration that allows developers to map each systems interface once to a canonical data representation. It implements complex mappings without writing code, enforces semantic consistency of data, provides semantic brokering of data based on content, enables round-trip testing of an integration within a design tool, and delivers 3600 impact analysis for any change from comprehensive integration metadata.

DataXtend SI solves the problem of validating data exchanges between systems by focusing on the business integrity of data — not just ensuring that the format of that data is correct, but ensuring that data is valid based on business rules for the users and applications that require the data.
