Adapters

OSI brings years of experience in developing bidirectional Service, Fault, Performance, Activation, and Discovery Vendor Specific Adapters (VSA’s) across IP, Wireline, and Wireless domains. These VSA’s leverage NetExpert gateways that are bidirectional protocol-independent and support the following protocol agents including but not limited to:

  • Shell
  • Telnet
  • TCP/IP
  • X.25
  • SNMP
  • XML
  • Corba
  • CMIP

OSI has extensive knowledge with implementing all NetExpert gateway types. OSI will also support the NetExpert Gateway Agents, which provide lightweight gateway functionality for lower cost hardware and remote managed services through firewalls.

Customization

NetExpert Command Center extensions, Object Browser Extensions, custom reports, and custom Java applications are areas that require creativity and experience to provide users the most effective way in presenting information to operations as well as executives.

Integration

Custom and third party OSS applications are being developed and integrated to support today’s next generation needs. Existing legacy OSS systems as well as new systems are being assessed, consolidated, replaced, and integrated to manage hybrid legacy/next generation environments, which deliver communication services. Integration of these systems is critical to reduce operational expenditures, time-to-market, service delivery times, etc.

OSI provides software development resources to help leverage Service Oriented Architecture, Web Services, and OSS/J in integrating OSS management functions. OSI also provides project management services focused on managing these timely integrations to meet your business needs.
