4 Oracle Communications Solutions OSS Component Introduction Order Management Process enabled application for optimized delivery of captured customer and network orders. Performs order transformation, decomposition and orchestration of all order activities with full visibility & status aggregation over entire order lifecycle. Order Management Inventory Unified, accurate inventory of subscribers, services, logical & physical resources together with design / assign capabilities for service fulfillment and actionable network analytics for network optimization. Inventory Service Mgmt Delivery Service Platform Activation Design Studio Design Studio Design time environment for rapid assembly, config and deployment of new services Activation Multi-service, multi-vendor service activation of network and IT applications. Stateful configuration and Service-aware configuration management of enterprise Ethernet / IP services.

5 Inventory in the Communications World Unified Perspective Required for Success Subscriber & Service Logical Physical Facility/Circuit Sites Connection Logical Devices Connection Physical Devices Customer Provisioning & activating a service for a subscriber requires a complete view of: Resources & network capabilities required for the service Availability of resources for subscriber location/device Capacity build planning requires a view of correspondence between physical and logical resources Effective service assurance enabled by knowing dependencies between services, logical resources and physical resources Traditional inventory systems built only to manage the physical network; limited support for other perspectives causes provisioning issues, poor asset use and unhappy customers

19 MetaSolv Solution Objectel Unified Inventory Management Intelligence Discovery & Integrity Policy Services Domain Support in UIM Artifacts Built in Design Studio Give UIM Its Face To model these inventory components in UIM which are a realization of the object model of the DSL service we first use Design Studio to create the specifications that are templates for these types of object Representing inventory in a DSL context will need as a base a set of pre-configured specifications for the equipment, devices, connections etc. that are part of this domain. These would be created in UIM by importing the Design Studio cartridges bundled as a DSL Technology Pack.
