A network inventory system enables communication service providers (CSPs) to create and maintain a complete and accurate digital representation of their physical and virtual networks, along with the telecom services provisioned on those networks. This trusted view allows network designers to model the network, manage service configurations, and understand customer service consumption.
When the network inventory is incomplete or inaccurate, it becomes impossible to design the network properly. A network inventory system supports precise network design and ongoing operations by integrating with other key systems, such as customer care and service assurance, to retrieve or update network inventory data as needed.
The Network Inventory Core empowers telecommunications service providers to effectively plan, design, build, and maintain models that include templates, network resources, and services.
Key capabilities of Network Inventory Core include:
- Data model enhancements to support channelization and strand management.
- Support for the decommissioning of configuration items (CIs).
- Support for revising and operationalizing configuration items (CIs).
