About the solution, CROSS

CROSS software is an innovative telecommunications OSS platform that builds a Single Source of Truth by integrating data from many network Operational Support Systems (OSS), Network Management Systems (NMS) and paper records (Excel), into a single database and surrounds this with service tools. CROSS’ USP is that it doesn’t Federate or Register different data sets, it actually reads them and builds its own database, linking all the data from the many different possible sources. Integrated data is displayed on a GIS map with location, circuit data and an active schema and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of alarms is available. CROSS is written in Java and uses SQL database technology; it is accessed by users through a web app.
