Reduce risk from network changes across the service lifecycle
The challenge
Configuration and software changes happen constantly. Without unified governance, drift accumulates, compliance gaps widen, and operational risk grows.
Our approach
Blue Planet brings configuration visibility, drift detection, compliance, software lifecycle, and change governance together in workflows embedded across OSS operations.
The benefits
Build a trusted operational foundation for AI and automation. Reduce risk, speed resolution, and enable reliable, compliant network operations.
Benefits of unified governance
Improve reliability, strengthen compliance, and establish the trusted network state AI-driven automation depends on.
Fewer
outages
Detect configuration errors and unauthorized changes before they disrupt services and affect network reliability.
Compliance
at scale
Continuously validate policies across vendors and devices without increasing manual overhead.
Trusted
automation
Gain trusted operational context for safer AI-driven decisions and actions with verified configuration and software state.
Configuration and change management capabilities for modern telco operations
Centralized configuration visibility
Get a real-time view of device configurations across vendors and domains with approved baselines defining intended state.
Continuous drift detection
Compare live device state against approved baselines and flag unauthorized or out-of-process changes.
Policy-driven compliance validation
Support security and audit readiness with continuous validation of configuration and software state against defined policies.
Governed change management
Govern changes through structured approval, validation, execution, and audit workflows.
Software image and device lifecycle management
Manage software versions, upgrades, lifecycle transitions, and zero-touch provisioning within one governance framework.
Day 0 and Day 1 workflow automation
Embed configuration and software validation into deployment and activation workflows for consistent execution from the start.
NetDevOps-ready architecture
Connect to existing automation frameworks and OSS orchestration pipelines while reusing current scripts and playbooks.
Configuration backup and restore
Back up current device configurations and restore approved states to recover faster from errors, drift, or failed changes.
Enable agentic AI with accurate network state
Through Blue Planet AI Studio, AI agents analyze drift, compliance, and change risk using trusted configuration and software state. This brings AI-enabled analysis into lifecycle governance at scale, helping teams identify noncompliant conditions, assess service impact, and act before issues become incidents.
Unify governance to empower your transformation objectives
Establish golden configurations
Back up device configurations, define intended state, and continuously enforce approved baselines across vendors, domains, and lifecycle stages.
Detect drift before it escalates
Identify unauthorized or out-of-process changes before they create compliance issues or service disruptions.
Govern every configuration change
Apply approval, validation, and audit workflows to both operator-driven and automated changes.
Manage software lifecycle
Track software versions, govern upgrades, and manage device lifecycle transitions within the same framework.
Turn change into trusted operations
See how Blue Planet and Orange Business connect governed change, shared OSS workflows, and trusted network state to scale automation with certainty.
Frequently asked questions
How is Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management different from vendor-native configuration tools?
Vendor-native tools typically manage configuration within a single ecosystem. Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management is built for heterogeneous telecom networks, governing configuration, compliance, software lifecycle, and change across multi-vendor environments while connecting that governance to broader OSS workflows.
Does Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management require other Blue Planet products to work?
No: It runs as a standalone and integrates into existing environments wherever governance is needed. When used with Blue Planet Inventory, Blue Planet Orchestration, Unified Assurance and Analytics, and AI Studio, it extends governance across the full-service lifecycle and supports closed-loop automation.
What vendors and device types does Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management support?
It is built for multi-vendor environments and integrates through open, standards-aligned APIs, so it is not limited to Ciena devices or a single domain.
How does Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management fit alongside our existing OSS stack?
It layers governance across existing workflows, integrating with current automation frameworks and OSS orchestration pipelines rather than forcing teams to replace what already works. Teams can reuse existing scripts, playbooks, and automation assets while adding governance, visibility, and compliance.
What does Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management do that Blue Planet Orchestration doesn't?
Blue Planet Orchestration manages service fulfillment and activation. Our configuration and change management governs the configuration and software state services depend on, ensuring changes are validated, traceable, and aligned with operational policy across the lifecycle.
Does Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management support compliance reporting?
Yes: It continuously validates configuration and software state against defined policies and generates audit-ready reports with change history and remediation status.
Bolster your OSS with governed autonomy
By connecting Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management to the Blue Planet Intelligent Automation Portfolio, you can extend governance across the complete service lifecycle. More than integration, it creates a service-aware governance layer that connects planning, fulfillment, assurance, and every change in between, so automated actions run on trusted network state.
