New Paradigms of ICT Industry ·Open Market ·Inter Networking ·Virtual Service Provider Technology Convergence Business Convergence Deregulation Customers’ Demand 4
ICT Market Trend • Past(~1985): Monopoly, Regulated Market. PSTN based telephone services by mega carriers to Reactive customers • Current(~2005 ): Competitive , Deregulated Market. Dominant PSTN plus Explosive Mobile and Internet based telephone +Date services by new/old service providers to personalized but still Reactive customers • Future(2010~) Converged Market by removing industry boundary and customer/provider scheme. NGN based ubiquitous triple/quadruple services by provider/customer collaboration to Proactive end users 5
ICT Management Target Past : • Bottom up approach for robust and interoperable resource management • TMN Architecture and FCAPS Current • Top down approach for Customer retention and profit conscious resource management. • Process evolution for customer self operations • N 3 B(Not Built Buy) OSS by COTS and Pn. P Future • Customer driven services and operation using Web 2. 0 • Context, Contents and SLA aware management 6
1, Monopoly, Regulated Market ( 1890’s -1980’s) Services • POTS on PSTN • by mega carriers (ROC: Recognized Operating Company) • SP( Service Provider) centric SP’s Targets • Establish nation wide ubiquitous telephone network by automated SW network • On Demand subscription. Operations and OSS • NEsupervise and Control by on site maintenance, then Centralized NE maintenance • Random , Individual and Proprietary OSS Development • Human and paper based CC&B (Customer Care and Billing) POTS : Plane Old Telephone Service PSTN : Public Switched Telephone Network NE : Network Element 7
2, Competitive, Deregulated Market ( 1985~) Services: • • • Telephone on PSTN and Mobile by competition among conventional carriers and new comers To reactive customers but Price Down Pressure ( Price Competition ) SP’s Target : • • • CAPEX/OPEX cost down for price down Up Graded CC&B for customer retention Competitive but Interoperable Operations among SPs Operations and OSS • • Operations Mission and Positioning Customer Oriented Top Down approach Systematic and Standardized OSS development on TMN Vertical process integration ( FAB) 8

Why use e. TOM? • e. TOM makes available a standard structure, terminology and classification scheme for describing business processes and their constituent building blocks • e. TOM supplies a foundation for applying enterprise-wide discipline to the development of business processes • e. TOM provides a basis for understanding and managing portfolios of IT applications in terms of business process requirements • e. TOM enables creation of consistent and high-quality end-to-end process flows, with opportunities for cost and performance improvement, and for re-use of existing processes and systems • e. TOM use across the industry will increase the likelihood that off-the -shelf applications will be readily integrated into the enterprise, at a lower cost than custom-built applications 58
Recent Reports on e. TOM Adoptions (SPs) 59
Recent Reports on e. TOM Adoptions (Vendors, SIs, etc) Reorganized existing BPM and Best Practices around e. TOM, with strategic decision to increase participation in e. TOM team work. Introduced internal e. TOM training, with e. TOM as a common language and reference throughout the company. Mapped Amdocs products to e. TOM, and used as sales tool. Used e. TOM to map existing industry processes, analyze business drivers and pains, and guide the design of new processes. Also, as a framework for ISV & SI Partnerships Have developed Telecom Reference Business Model based on e. TOM (Levels 1, 2 & 3), and extended to Levels 5 & 6 for business scenario investigation, legacy system gap analysis, new OSS/BSS specification, consultancy support, etc Used e. TOM for internal product training, product features cross - referencing nd functional gap analysis, marketing analysis (competitors/partners), customer communication (incl. RFI/RFP), workflow “seed” processes Used e. TOM for mapping Motorola products and managed services, for gap analysis of solution portfolio and for partnership communications 60
Process, Function and Data • e. TOM M 3400 SID Process Function Sets Data 61
Process and Function • Processes can be used to describe the flow of activities to solve a particular business problem, or part of it. • A function can be considered as a unit of processing (either initiated by humans or through an automated action) with specific, well-defined inputs and outputs. • For functions in particular, the data is essential because the function is described as a unit of processing together with its associated data inputs and outputs. 62
Relationship between processes, functions and data 63
Processes, function set groups and data areas 64
Objectives of mapping e. TOM to M. 3400 • Facilitate the linkage from process view to functional view; • Provide a framework for level of granularity and abstraction for the interface definitions; • Get a better handle on what should be implemented in systems in terms of: –Reusable software components; –Boundaries of what to implement; • Understand what are the interfaces between processes at the indicated levels; • Identify the needs for standardization. 65

e. TOM • Business context is a total enterprise model for telcos. • International standard through ITU. • Constitutes the Business View section of NGOSS, TMF’s initiative on OSS / BSS solutions. • A common language for business processes. • A hierarchy of process definitions. • A repository of process elements at various levels of detail that can be combined and applied in specific applications. • Provides examples of process flows. • Flow diagrams are used in e. TOM to illustrate end to end processes e. g. Fulfillment. • Technical content now mature, with an i 82
ITIL • Business context is IT / ICT Service Management. • Included in various national standards, and slated to be adopted by ISO in 2005 / 06. • A comprehensive and consistent set of best practices. • A set of methods for delivering controlled and optimizable services. • Common language • Aim is to provide high quality services with a particular focus on Customer relationships. • Is built on agreements where the IT organization should provide whatever is mutually agreed with Customers. • Service Delivery processes are partially concerned with setting up agreements and monitoring the targets within these agreements. On the operational level, the Service Support processes can be viewed as delivering service as laid down in these agreements. • Flow charts are used in ITIL. • Inclusion of closed feedback quality loops for continuous improvement. • It supports and drives ‘quality’ or repeatability 83
