Service Delivery Framework Projects
The concept of the Service Delivery Framework (SDF) is emerging as an important tool within Next-Generation Service Provider’s environment. The SDF is intended to bridge the gaps between OSS/BSS, Service Delivery Platforms and IMS architectures to allow the definition, creation, deployment and management of services with much less effort and cost than that of today’s Service Management environments. To do this the SDF must support the creation and execution of a 360 degree view of a service that integrates all functions required to manage the lifecycle of a service.
Concepts Applied:
- Architecture
- Vendor Selection
- Project Management
- Integration
- Development
Operational Support System Projects
Communications companies have operational support systems designed for efficiently managing services and the subscriber interface in a tightly controlled vertically integrated business model. The OSS is a primary obstacle to improving processes associated with “partnering” and converged service development.

Service Oriented Architecture
Cadence has used SOA methodologies on large scale projects for over 10 years in very demanding environments. Our experience from working with current and potential adopters of SOA is that they often have misconceptions that lead them to oversimplify the effort required to implement SOA. Chief among these misconceptions is the belief that by adopting a SOA strategy for the enterprise, an organization has established a well-crafted architecture that will help the organization achieve its many IT goals. In reality, SOA is not an architecture, but an architectural pattern from which an infinite number of architectures can be derived - both good and bad.
Concepts Applied:
- Unified Domain Modeling
- Service Decomposition
- SOA Governance
