Controlling Cost and Complexity of OSS Investments
The options for bringing new, faster services to your community are innumerous. Choosing how to best deliver these services is rarely simple and cheap; it is mostly complex and costly. Sometimes it feels downright impossible.
A common problem with any OSS implementation project is complexity and scope. Projects often stretch over a long period of time. The more complex the solution, the greater the risk of running into delays caused by technical difficulties, resource constrains and unplanned costs. This means that as a buyer you must wait a long time before you can start using your new OSS product. Sometimes you won’t even know what to expect when logging in to a new OSS system for the first time. This process might even extend beyond implementation and negatively impact other areas of your business due to consecutive and compounding delays.
Regardless of technology, concerns over complexity and cost has always been a factor when planning the management of a network. Often the supplier of an OSS will force you to formulize your requirements on a very detailed level in a very early step of the system lifecycle. In comparison – think of building a house where the contractor asks you where he/she should install the refrigerator even before the blueprint of the house is ready. It will at best become a good guess. Guesses that you will need to live with and also invest in.
So how can you avoid these risks and simplify the decision-making process?
It’s important to keep thinking smart and efficient. Finding a highly configurable OSS system is of paramount importance. Additionally, the system should allow you to quickly start using it without any major expense, allowing you to live with it for a while, see its inner workings, learn best practices for utilization, and understand its potential. Finally, leveraging the knowledge and experience of a Professional Services team can go a long way in achieving your implementation goals. Professional Services can work with you to build strategies and organize workshops that address your specific situation and needs, including:
- Obtaining and maintaining a high level of data quality in your new OSS system
