Telcordia, a global leader in the development of IP, wireless, and
mobile telecommunication software and services, today announced the
availability of a white paper that explains the importance of an
industry-wide approach to the network equipment information challenge.
The white paper, titled Network Evolution - Boosting Services and
Profits by Solving the Network Equipment Information Challenge, is
available as a free download at www.telcordia.com/eiwp and designed to
help equipment suppliers and service providers address the challenge
of tracking vast network inventories and the lifecycle status of each
network element.
"Telcordia is focused on educating service providers worldwide
about how they can transform their businesses, including developing
methods for reducing network inefficiencies and wasted resources in
the process," said Allen Seidman, vice president of business
development and marketing, Operations and Transformation Solutions,
Telcordia. "This whitepaper proposes a highly accurate, highly
efficient, information service that frees service providers to focus
on profitably delivering value-added, differentiated services to their
customers."
The network equipment information challenge results from
operators, suppliers and systems using different equipment identifiers
and tracking different sets of attributes that complicate the supply
chain and network lifecycle management. This disorganized glut of
information wastes time and money, undermining service providers'
competitive positions and diverting resources that could otherwise be
used to develop innovative, revenue-generating services.
The white paper describes the symptoms of ineffective network
equipment information management, identifies the root causes, explains
why current management methods are not solving the problem and why an
industry-wide approach to the network equipment information challenge
is optimal. It proposes a centralized, standardized equipment
identification system that will enable service providers to reduce
investment in spare equipment by up to 15 percent and reduce data
mapping and conversion efforts by up to 92 percent. These
standardized, streamlined processes directly benefit service
providers' competitive and financial positions.
