Level (3) – Revolutionary Operating Environment - 2000
Level 3 targets Fortune 50 companies instead of millions of retail subscribers. The OSS/BSS infrastructure originally specified was suitable for a retail provider (scalable but inflexible). Level 3 began to realize that unlike traditional telecoms, the OSS is a service in a wholesale business model. Cadence team members initiated a re-engineering effort designed to revolutionize the way that Level 3 conducted business. The OSS/BSS architecture utilized SOA to improve the flexibility of their systems consistent with their business needs.
Sprint PCS – Wireless Application Marketplace – 2002
The Wireless Application Marketplace (WAM) provides third party providers (MVNO’s, Application Developers and Content Providers) an OSS/BSS platform with which to provision and deliver services on SprintPCS’s wireless network. This platform encompassed several aspects of SprintPCS’s OSS/BSS infrastructure.
SprintPCS – Premium Services Infrastructure - 2004
The Premium Services Infrastructure provides third party providers (MVNO’s, Application Developers and Content Providers) a service delivery platform for delivering premium content and managing end device configuration on SprintPCS’s wireless network. This platform encompassed several aspects of SprintPCS’s OSS/BSS infrastructure. This infrastructure currently supports several high-profile MVNO’s and was the first North American implementation of IBM’s SPDE Architecture.
GPN – VoIP VNO OSS – 2004
Gathering Point Networks was a small VoIP virtual network operator that need help connecting to Level 3’s back office systems. Cadence team members were able to quickly define a cost effective way that enabled GPN to automate customer processes.
Sprint – Innovation Lab - 2005
Sprint understood that they needed a better way to bring new services to market and consulted with Cadence to assess their current OSS/BSS infrastructure and their wholesale platforms currently in place.
Level (3) – Networx – 2006
Having been awarded the Enterprise contract for GSA Networx, Level 3 needed a team that was capable of specifying an OSS/BSS that met their demanding requirements. Cadence was able to provide leadership in architecture, project management and development roles.
Mobile Satellite Ventures – Integrated Service Delivery Framework - 2006
Like Cool Hand Luke, MSV believes that “sometimes nothing is a real cool hand“. MSV has properly assessed the needs of the communications industry and sees that a traditional approach to OSS/BSS and SDP will not yield the significant competitive advantage they feel they can achieve by using Cadence’s now refined SOA skills across a “unified architecture”. Unburdened with existing infrastructure Cadence was able to specify leading edge technologies consistent with SOA to achieve the goals of the project.
