The primary objectives of the project are to optimise network investments and bring the company real cost savings in the region. Implementation is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Since 2015, Comarch has been working to transform legacy operations support systems (OSS) in the region, with the aim of helping Telefónica reduce costs in the creation and operation of the transport network, through which it delivers video and IPTV services.
“Implementing Comarch’s Next Generation Network Planning is a major step towards improving the efficiency of network planning and the optimisation processes in our subsidiaries in Latin America. The current implementation will provide an integration platform for a best of breed OSS solution, unified and reused across the group,” said José González Díaz, director of transformation and OSS, global CTO, Telefónica.
The solution encompasses four modules: Comarch Next Generation Network Planning, Comarch Network Inventory, Comarch Auto-discovery & Reconciliation and Comarch Configuration Management.
Comarch has been supporting Telefónica Germany in its Transport Network Management and Tactical Planning since 2003.
