The Next Generation Network OSS BSS market provides capabilities that have become an absolute requirement for Communication Service Providers (CSP) of all types including integrated legacy carriers (fixed, wireless, and cable/Internet), Multiple System Operators (MSO), and Over-the-Top (OTT) providers.
When the analyst first began coverage of the Next Generation Network OSS BSS market in 2007, it was driven largely by two things: (1) The need to consolidate operational support and billing as well as (2) Prepare for next-generation IP-based networks and services. While these are still two very important reasons for CSPs to leverage NGN OSS BSS platforms, there are now many more reasons:
Fifth Generation (5G) Cellular: Requirements for Next Generation Network OSS BSS market support for Network Slicing in 5G, both in terms of administration of slice allocations (including SLA) as well as billing for slices and usage. CSPs will also require Next-Gen OSS BSS for support of massive IoT systems enabled by 5G.
Internet of Things (IoT): Presenting many issues and opportunities, IoT will require operational support for intermediation between networks and systems. In addition, IoT Billing and Settlement represents a significant near-term growth area for the Next Generation OSS BSS market. Longer-term, IoT Authentication and Authorization and the use of Blockchain will also emerge as a key area reliant upon NGN OSS.
Next-Generation Apps and Services: As a result of 5G, there will be many next-generation services, many of which will be highly immersive, such as the Virtual Reality market. New business models will emerge for VR and other next-gen apps that will require Next Generation Network OSS BSS support. For example, CSPs will need to support virtual identity as well as bridge the virtual and real worlds with Mixed Reality offerings. These areas will require operational support.
Telecommunication service providers are adopting the next generation OSS/BSS systems for many reasons including integration with new IP-based frameworks, emerging applications, and the need to deal with customer service and retention. Other factors include the need for network operators to rationalize legacy systems into common support frameworks while they simultaneously seek differentiation factors from one another.
One challenge is that this is all happening while carriers roll out increasingly complex (at the network and service provider level) products and services. Handling of mission critical information will continue to evolve, necessitating additional innovation in OSS/BSS. This will facilitate ongoing opportunities for vendors involved in the development, supply and service of the next generation OSS/BSS.
Next Generation Network (NGN) represents a transformation driver for legacy OSS BSS systems. Traditional OSS is focused on the functions of Network Planning and Engineering (NPE), Fault Management (FM), Performance Management (PM), Provisioning and Service Activation (PSA) and Inventory Management (IM), and BSS is focused on Billing and Customer Care (B&CC), Mediation (MD) and Revenue Assurance (RA).
While critically important for the long-term viability of telecommunications networks, NGN imposes several new challenges to network operations such as stakeholder apprehension, framework construction to integration of demands, coordinating multi-vendor environments, processing data on real time basis, managing multiple partners simultaneously, diverse rating, and charging models.
