Break away from your legacy inventory with Blue Planet
In today’s evolving environment, you are seeking to deliver new, dynamic services such as 5G network slicing and SD-WAN in an agile manner. However, the data needed to offer these services is typically siloed in legacy inventory and Operational Support Systems (OSSs) with proprietary interfaces, making the data complex to correlate and understand. As a result, your key operational processes such as network planning, service fulfillment, and assurance involve numerous slow, error-prone, manual tasks that delay new service offerings.
What is unified inventory?
Blue Planet Inventory (BPI) offers a modern approach. It uses federation technology to unify inventory data from multiple existing Operational Support Systems (OSS), Network Management Systems (NMS), and other sources to create a single ‘source of truth’ for network and IT users that reflects the current state of the network. Unified inventory becomes the backbone of service lifecycle automation.
Automate and accelerate 5G network buildouts
Whether you are evolving a 4G network or building a 5G standalone, the journey begins with the ability to make critical planning and placement decisions from cell site to core. 5G brings additional multi-vendor, multi-domain complexity, and legacy and siloed OSS systems across Radio Access Networks (RANs), transport, and core also slow your ability to intelligently plan and scale based on coverage, utilization, and capacity across multiple services and technologies. Find out how Blue Planet’s zero touch planning can help.
