‘With Time Warner Cable & other MSOs expanding into new services and market segments, current OSS solutions must broaden their capabilities to meet new operational demands. As our target market expands beyond traditional residential cable services into voice and commercial and carrier services, the need for robust, flexible and open platforms is critical,’ said Jonathan Anderson, VP Network Operations at Time Warner Cable, who works on Corporate Network Operations and OSS Strategy. ‘To architect our OSS to meet dynamic service needs, Time Warner Cable is exploring how industry standards like MTOSI and OSS/J from the TM Forum can support these business requirements , such as developing the ability to manage multiple vendor platforms and EMS's for cell backhaul through a single performance management interface.’
