OSS-as-a-Service is an innovative business model that delivers comprehensive Operational Support System functionalities through a collaborative agreement with Communication Service Providers (CSPs), typically spanning several years. By leveraging a well-integrated OSS suite that efficiently manages high-quality operational data, CSPs can significantly boost automation and agility in their operations, resulting in enhanced operational efficiencies, reduced operating costs, faster time-to-market, and a superior customer experience. Historically, CSPs have faced limited sourcing options, primarily choosing between purchasing a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software solution with necessary support services or creating their own OSS solutions internally. The emergence of OSS-as-a-Service transforms this scenario, providing a more adaptable and efficient means to access vital OSS capabilities. This approach not only resolves existing operational issues but also strategically equips CSPs for ongoing growth and innovation in an ever-changing market landscape. As such, OSS-as-a-Service represents a significant shift in how CSPs can approach their operational challenges, paving the way for future advancements in technology and service delivery.

Nokia’s cutting-edge OSS suite, when paired with its 5G Future X network architecture and digital value platforms, enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to adopt digital-first attributes and engage in more autonomous decision-making. This sophisticated OSS fosters a shift from fragmented operations to a cohesive and dynamic lifecycle management strategy that incorporates automated functionalities. Designed with a strong emphasis on automation, intelligence, and a closed-loop service lifecycle management system, it guarantees an exceptional OSS experience for users. Transitioning to this advanced OSS signifies a major shift, blending separate functions and enhancing operational integration with assurance, while moving from a network and service-centric focus to a model that prioritizes customer engagement and business outcomes, ultimately leading to zero-touch automation. By streamlining operations, the revamped OSS not only supports innovative digital services but also facilitates the creation of new value chains and partner ecosystems, establishing itself as a fundamental element for future progress in the telecommunications sector. This evolution will also enable CSPs to respond more swiftly to market changes and customer demands, thus reinforcing their competitive edge.
