OSS and BSS with Big Data
Course Overview
Operational Support System (OSS) and Business Support System (BSS) are at the heart of the operation of any Telecom operator. Given growth of Big Data in recent times, the area of OSS/BSS has undergone disruptive changes, especially with virtualization of the OSS/BSS. As a result, many of the new Over-The-Top (OTT) services are newly developed web/mobile based services that do not fit into legacy OSS.
In this course, participants will learn about legacy OSS/BSS and the emerging Big Data analytics application in the OSS/BSS layer. The course will introduce participants to the evolution of OSS, the key elements and functions of OSS/BSS management, the integration of OSS/BSS with big data, recent trends in the field, and the application of big data in target marketing, churn management, and network operation analytics.
At the end of the course, participants will be equipped with a complete understanding of how these systems can be used to improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
