Business Challenges
WHAT IS NIMS?
A Network Inventory Management System will enable you to track
all of the devices you have connected to your network computers,
printers, routers, plotters, and even phone systems.

In Telecommunication company NIMS is a product that enables end
to end management of multivendor multitech networks.

WHY COMPANY NEEDS NIMS?
Network and Service Assurance via fast impact and root cause analysis.
Rolling out networks effectively, by simplifying workflows and project
management.
Service fulfilment: accurate inventory usually results in a 10-50%
reduction in service provisioning time.
Service development, enabling operators to more closely match end
user needs through better insight into consumer and business users.
To secure the valuable assets of a company by restricting unauthorized
user.
To keep record of software licenses, warranty information, windows
assets, serial number etc .
To specify conditions for replacing any equipment such as upgrades
when newer product available.
WAYS TO PROTECT ASSETS BY NIMS?
Information Theft :- A network inventory management system
will do regular check of system's inventory that will let you know
who has downloaded and used software they may not be authorized
to use.

Equipment Theft :- A network inventory management system
will automatically detect every piece of equipment and software
connected to your system and update all their status.

WAYS TO PROTECT ASSETS BY NIMS?
Licensing agreements :- An inventory of your software and
licensing agreements will let you know of any expired licensed
software.

System Upgrades :- A network inventory management system
will alert you when it's time to upgrade software or replace
hardware with newer technology .
BENEFITS OF NIMS
Time Saving :- Network inventory management systems reduces the man-
hours spent on network inventory.

Software Management :- Network inventory management systems tracks
and alerts expiration and working of all software in network.

Monitoring :- Network inventory management programs can be used to
monitor external PCs for threats and unauthorized content .

Data Collection :- Network management system is also used to collect
useful data from employee computers.
ISSUES RELATED TO NIMS
Power failure, computer viruses and hackers are the inherent problems
of using computerized systems.

Input needs to be validated for accuracy and completeness.

Danger of computer fraud if proper level of control and security is not
used.

Badly programmed or inappropriate software or hardware.

Next Gen Architecture
At the business level, the proposal supports service agility in all processes from conception to
retirement and all relevant phases including planning, deployment, customer on-boarding and
assurance.

The architecture comprises a set of application functions, which implement tasks such as enterprise
catalogue, charging, billing, order management, experience and assurance.

Application functions are implemented through a set of components that can be configured and
assembled so they form a complete solution that can also be integrated with existing systems.

The information architecture separates the information model so information is matched to the
application functions, supporting modularity and enabling integration in the overall information model.

To support effective implementation, all components are prepared for cloud deployment.

AIRTEL SHOULD DEPLOY FULCRUM
OPPURTUNITIES AND THREATS
Services wrapper BUGS services wrapped around Ericsson software products provide
excellent revenue growth opportunities.
With a strong presence in the self-organizing/self-optimizing network (SON) technology,
Ericsson should be able to develop a robust services business around hybrid SON architectures,
policy development and verification services.
With its strong product portfolio, all the above companies stand to enjoy a significant
opportunity increase in managed services (outsourced operations and hosted solutions) and
transformation projects.
The ability for Ericssons OSS & SE business to further integrate and cross-leverage its
network, BSS, network/domain management, and even TV and media offers to improve value
to its customers.
OPPURTUNITIES
All equipment vendors in the OSS and BSS business face some issues with multi-vendor
support. Cooperation with other equipment vendors is more difficult than for independent
software vendors (ISVs) while customers are sensitive to any signs of the vendor advantaging
its own equipment in its OSS and (somewhat less) BSS features and functions.
Ericssons traditional focus on the larger and more dynamic mobile OSS market could move
the companys attention away from the wire line market.
Many of the products offered today cover multiple aspects of access control, making it
difficult to select the right security solution.
Amdocs, NEC/NetCracker and Oracle, Ericssons three largest competitors, may seek to
broaden their portfolios in the service assurance area, erasing some of Ericssons differentiation
advantage. The recent move of Amdocs to acquire Actix is an example of this.

THREATS
ADVANTAGES OF IMPLEMENTING
NIMS USING ABOVE SYSTEMS
Know your Customer: Build and analyse customer data repositories to understand and meet consumer
needs more quickly
Building on the Basics: Mobile customer loyalty hinges on service reliability and price. Airtel would be
able to give best prices to the customers.
Provide Seamless Service: Customers want a multi-purpose device and bundled communications
services. New industry players are accelerating competition while demand for cutting-edge services
grows. Content partnerships will be critical but service activation, delivery, and billing would be
seamless and fast using these systems.
Bartering with Customers: Customers say they will listen to or watch advertisements in exchange for
credits or service discounts, but are not yet fully on board with location-based services. Airtel would be
able to promote benefits to every individual customer.
Plan for the Future: Customers expect future phones to include video, scanning, and even purchasing
capabilities. Metasolv, OAM, Telcordia and Fulcrum will ensure that the network and back-end systems
are scalable, securely open to developers, and integrated across services.
Advantages of Installing the Complete Systems
CONCLUSION
Oracle Metasolv Solution helps accurately and efficiently manage all the resources
required to deliver communication services, including physical resources, logical
resources, technology or service resources, and name or number resources
With recent acquisition of Telcordia, Ericsson has vaulted itself to the top of global
providers of OSS and BSS software products. It deepens its integrations, sharpens its
solutions and preconfigures its offers, it has the potential to continue to gain market
share.
Oracle Access Management as a whole enables customers to present a proactive
security posture with a cost effective and standards based end to end solution. The ease
of implementation, flexibility, transparency and breadth of capabilities helps provide
excellent return on investment.
