Enabling automation with active, integrated inventory

CROSS builds a single coherent data model of the network, converting fragmented inventory and network data into an integrated OSS platform that enables automation and accelerates time to sell, plan, build and fix.

An end-to-end model of the entire network

Provide all teams, systems, and workflows with a single modern OSS to access and utilize inventory across network and service operations for boosted cost-cutting efficiencies.

Integrate

Convert static, fragmented inventory and network data from any source into a single coherent data model, delivering an end-to-end view of the entire network and its resources and services.

Optimize

Seamlessly deploy, manage, and scale resources across the network with a suite of configurable web-based OSS modules, boosting efficiencies and unlocking OPEX-savings.

Automate

Enable automation with CROSS as a single point of interaction for OSS and BSS applications, using a REST-based Open API to create seamless workflows for order and service management.
  • By deploying CROSS together with UMS we have shortened identifying a network outage from tens of minutes to minutes, and finding customers impacted by the outage from hours to minutes. That enabled us to significantly improve the quality of our services.
  • CROSS enabled us to control whether lease lines are still being used for paid services or whether they are still financially viable. We have been able to find unused or unprofitable circuits and save about 5% of annual Opex.
  • When preparing planned outages, it used to take us a couple of days to identify all affected customers. CROSS helped us reduce that time to a few minutes.
  • One stunningly simple idea that helps to overcome one of OSS’ biggest challenges – data quality.
  • CROSS integrates all current information about the equipment, its location and free capacity in one database. It allowed us to dramatically shorten offer preparation time for large VPN networks. We can calculate very accurately our cost of the proposed solution, and create alternatives to match the customer’s budget.
  • CROSS allows us to store data with a varying level of detail. It does not impact proper functioning of RCA, SIA, Opex assurance, Availability check or network visualization in a map. Its system for data quality management - Data Ranking - allows us to identify the data with inadequate quality and improve it as needed.
  • The product feature that blew me away was the first I’ve seen that allows significant inter-relationship of data (yet in a simple data model), but still copes with poor data quality.
  • The BSS/OSS solution by Enxoo and CROSS will enable NEXERA to respond to customer demands quickly and with the highest quality. Great level of automation of the solution, flexibility of the platform as well as in-depth telco knowledge and experience of Enxoo and CROSS teams encouraged us to select these partners.

What is CROSS?

CROSS builds a single network inventory, integrating data from any network system and the network itself.

Surrounding this data with service tools and a library of probes, connectors and APIs allows for CROSS to improve data quality, reduce OPEX, and enable automation for improved operational efficiencies.

True Integration for a Single Pane of Glass

Consolidate multi-domain/vendor OSS into a single data model and link assets with services across the network stack – covering physical, logical, virtual, and service.

Combine a geographic view of network assets with a fully-connected topological model of all network layers supporting all query, design, and documentation functions in a web client.

Future-proof your network and avoid vendor lock-in diagram

Active, Accurate, Accessible

Bridge and integrate data across network and OSS/BSS domains using probes/connectors and REST-based Open APIs, covering:

  • Network (self-discovery)
  • OSS (NMS, EM, ...)
  • BSS (Ordering, Billing, CRM, ...)

Enable automation with Open APIs

Integrate CROSS inventory with BSS workflow tools to enable automation with sales and faster service delivery. Resource availability and capacity management tools allow services to be designed and matched with the appropriate resources.

Maintain or retire existing systems as needed

CROSS can work in harmony alongside existing systems, ingesting and reconciling data on a regular, ongoing basis to maintain an accurate inventory record.

Alternatively, existing systems and spreadsheets can be replaced following a one-time data migration.

Modernize and optimize the OSS lifecycle

Fully-aligned with the TM Forum eTOM framework, CROSS includes built-in modules to support the OSS lifecycle, covering key areas such as:

  • Network planning
  • Service provisioning
  • Revenue assurance
  • Network creation
  • Service assurance

Your data isn’t perfect. It doesn’t have to be.

CROSS works with data of variable quality in its existing state. However, it can also be used to vastly improve data quality by automatically identifying gaps and inconsistencies using data quality tagging rules.
