Project Overview

In the first phase Network Inventory is used as a migration example toshow how CSPs can assure the following:

Rapid consolidation of all data related to Ethernet transport into a single Inventory environment Physical, logical and service layers are consolidated and synchronised, without duplication of data

Service Assurance process ability to operate on a single Network Inventory application instance

Data synchronisation is driven by fulfillment and service assurance business processes

Sophisticated error handling enforces process integrity

Approach accelerates business benefits such as RoI, while reducing project cost and timescale.

How does it work? The Catalyst provides a new generation application data migration platform which has been

specifically designed to de-risk the data migration process by understanding the context withinwhich data is being used within business processes, and to preserve that context throughout themigration process

Adaptive Migration Framework: users can separate and migrate application and system data aswell as business processes and users, with zero downtime

Migration Concurrency: manages both the migration and synchronisation of application data inreal-time, which minimises disruption to normal business operations

Business intelligence and 360 degree migration visibility: allows for the flexible modelling and

independent migration of existing and future applications, processes, users and data, whilst givinga full business level track and trace of the migration and ongoing synchronisation

Progressive migration: enables administrators to choose the right kind of migration approach fortheir business and change it if need be during the migration if business requirements change.

Project Architecture

Migration requirement

- Incrementally migrate only Ethernet to Amdocs OSS 6 Catalyst solution

- Copy and synchronise only the Ethernet services- Catalyst ensures referential data model integrity in source for other business processes tocontinue during the migration

Implications- Project costs are reduced to Ethernet services only versus Big Bang migration of non required

data

Unlocking data from the

Applications

Applications provide a critical part of the picture, supportingbusiness processes, but also create Vendor lock-in throughproprietary data models

This isnt in anyones interests it just creates inertia the

apps vendors have to sell on product excellence, innovationand completeness

Next Generation Data Migration has to drive a campaign tofree data to move between applications and processes

openlyreducing friction - and the TM Forum is rightbehind that message
