Sponsor: France Telecom; Participating Companies: BEA Systems, Ceon, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Pantero and Sun Microsystems.
 

Swisscom’s catalyst project "IPTV Impact on FAB” will demonstrate how its OSS/BSS environment for the future IPTV-based services can be leveraged with NGOSS design principles. One of these services can be a spontaneous buy of the song from the IPTV portal and its delivery to the mobile phone. Sponsor: Swisscom AG, Participants: cVidya Networks, Metratech, Microsoft, Nakina Systems, Syndesis, Tata Consultancy Services, The Billing College, Tigerstipe Software, Wipro
 

The “Managing IP Services with NGOSS Phase IV - Quad Play” is the second phase in which video was introduced into the IP services offering. In this phase the demo team will illustrate a complete quadruple play network with operational separation, in terms of quality of service and bandwidth requirements, of the different components (data, voice and video), of the communications network. Sponsor: IPDR.Org; Participants: Broadhop, Cisco Systems, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Digital Fairway, Fujitsu, Intec Telecom Systems, Pantero, Tech Mahindra
 

MTOSI – One Interface, Any Network. This process automation catalyst project provides validation of Multi-Technology Operation System Interface (MTOSI) specifications and capitalizes on the experience gained from previous MTOSI demonstrations in a realistic end to end provisioning and assurance scenario focusing on the integration and interoperability aspects at the edge of the MTOSI domain envelope. Sponsor: Cable & Wireless, TeliaSonera; Participating Companies: Ceon, Cisco Systems, Cramer Systems Limited, Iona, Lucent, Nortel, Pantero, Sonic Software, Telcordia, TTI Telecom
 

The main emphasis of the Revenue Assurance (RA) for the Lean Operator catalyst is on the implications of RA methodology and tools as formalized by the RA modeling team on the eTOM and SID models and vice versa in order to assist operators in becoming more efficient by the use of a common framework, data models, and well-defined business processes. Sponsor: China Unicom; Participating Companies: ATOS Origin, Convergys, cVidya, Datamat, Sonic Software
