| New Telecoms Data Migration Catalyst At Tm Forum Conference With application data migration now firmly on the agenda of communication service providers (CSPs) as a key transformation enabler, Celona will present a real-world case study as part of the TM Forum's Catalyst Program at the Management World Conference 2009, in Nice next month. This Catalyst project will demonstrate how a new approach to Data Migration is now possible as a next generation enabler for OSS/BSS Transformation with a real-world case-study. This first phase of the catalyst project showcase demonstrates how to: • Build the business case for OSS/BSS migration deployments focusing on business processes and data relationships • Deliver early RoI from business-focused migration • Reduce risk, costs and business disruption during migration • Enable business flexibility and change during migration • Meet varied compliance and audit requirements with 360 degree visibility • Enable adoption of the TMF operating models (eTOM, TAM and SID and NG OSS/BSS) in Business-Centric Data Migration. Tony Sceales, Celona's CTO commented: "Traditional approaches to data migration based on scripting and high levels of customisation can result in high risk, expensive and disruptive programmes, and in many cases these tools do not meet the requirements of the 21st Century CSP. Transformation is now a continuous state for operators, not a series of discrete programmes. Relationships, operations, regulation and compliance must be maintained while data is in-flight between source and target environments, and new business initiatives must be supported with zero downtime and minimal business impact." Matt Hooper, Celona's CMO continued: "This first phase of the catalyst project aims to demonstrate how leading TMF companies have re-thought Data Migration as an enabler for this new approach to OSS/BSS Transformation with a real-world case-study and showcase, which looks at the example of Network Inventory Management application data migration." Attendees of the conference can see the demonstration at regular intervals throughout the show at the TM Forum Catalyst Program Forumville. TM Forum Management World 2009 takes place between the 4th and 8th May, 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Exhibition News :: home page |
