Modern telecom networks are automated, and are run by OSS software or operational support systems. These manage modern telecom networks and provide the data that is needed in the day-to-day running of a telecom network. OSS software is also responsible for issuing commands to the network infrastructure to activate new service offerings, commence services for new customers, and detect and correct network faults. The capabilities of OSS software are central to the service features that can be offered by telecom service providers. On the other hand, the limitations of OSS software translate into limitations on service offerings. It is important for telecom consultants, sales people and managers to understand OSS software. This book introduces those systems to non-technical readers, and will be essential reading for telecommunications professionals who need an easy-to-read overview of OSS systems, and also for those taking advanced undergraduate, postgraduate, and other courses in telecommunications.

The book introduces and describes the software that is used to manage modern telecom networks
Such software is encompassed by the expression "operational support systems" or OSS
OSS software provides the data that is necessary for the day-to-day operations of a telecom network including delivery of telecom services to end-customers
In addition to providing the necessary data, OSS software is increasingly responsible for issuing commands to the network infrastructure to activate new service offerings, to activate services for new customers and to detect and correct network faults
Cost imperatives have driven increasing automation in the operation of telecom networks
The need for new revenue streams forces telecom service providers to offer increasingly complex services, especially to enterprise customers
Cost-effective provision of rich services demands a central role for software and a minimal role for human technicians
Thus, OSS software is becoming central to the service offerings of telecom companies
Therefore, it is important for telecom consultants, sales people and managers to have some understanding of OSS software that manages telecom networks on a day-to-day basis
This book targets such people
The book also targets telecom engineers who are not familiar with modern OSS software
The book is designed to give a hands-on feel for OSS software
The reader should walk away with a clear idea of what it is like to sit down in front of an OSS application and make it do something
There is a large amount of literature which describes the goals of OSS software in engineering abstractions or in marketing jargon
This book aims to give the reader a concrete understanding of OSS
The reader will come to understand that OSS software is now a very real part of modern telecom operations and should be able to talk about it as such
Among its many strengths, the biggest strength of the book is that the subject area is timely
