Today’s Agenda • Introduction to SUNCOM’s OaSIS: Mike Kyvik: Chief of Operations, Division of Telecommunications, DMS (michael.kyvik@dms.myflorida.com) • What is OaSIS? • Why are we building OaSIS? • OaSIS development and deployment strategies • Revolutionary development • Evolutionary deployment • Samples from OaSIS: Jeremy Daniell, DivTel Project Manager, (jeremy.daniell@dms.myflorida.com) • Questions & Answers
Open and Shared Information System Components • Customer account management • Billing • Inventory management • Order processing
Conditions Leadingto OaSIS Development • Patchwork of legacy SUNCOM systems • System enhancements driven by events rather than strategies • Data structure did not effectively use relational models • Customer interfaces lacking • Duplication of “shadow” systems among customers
Evolutionary Migration • Data and algorithms from existing systems reused in backend • Piecemeal replacement of existing components • Deployment overlaps legacy system • (no “flash-cut”)
Revolutionary Technical Approach(click for linked detail) m Metadata tags Open & Shared Library Database restructuring <xml/> Messaging Framework

Metadata Tags m • Metadata is in SUNCOM systems but exclusively controlled by the customer • Related to SUNCOM data • Will allow customers to label any data they can see like… • phone numbers with the name of the phone user • circuits with specific locations • any service with grant IDs, project IDs, etc. • Become permanent, universal tag until customer changes it • Can insert tags at any stage and use in any other stage • Order • Inventory • Invoice • Audit
Database Restructuring • Establish new relationships between data • Eliminate the restrictions of intelligent codes (like CSA) and the need to understand them • Empower customers to… • Create accounts • Establish hierarchy (like organization structure) • Move services between accounts • Consolidate bills
Open and Shared Library m • Customers will be able to write custom applications using… • SUNCOM dataMeta data • Application Program Interfaces (APIs) • Standard functions written by SUNCOM • Customers will be able to use and modify software written by others • Shared software application library • Community of developers
Messaging <xml/> • Allow vendors and SUNCOM to pass data to each other in real time • Example uses: • Customers order from vendor’s web site, OASIS immediately gets all necessary CSA data from vendor • Centralizes order and inventory data no matter where order is submitted • Vendor updates vendor records upon service activation, then sends updates to OASIS • Eliminate double entry and improve accuracy
OaSIS Framework • Standardized interfaces (APIs) • For customers writing applications • For vendors exchanging data and processes • Simplify future development • Functions developed once, reused in many areas and by many developers • Eliminate duplicated functions
Empowering SUNCOM Customers m • Permanently tag services and charges • Create/modify accounts • Consolidate or separate bills • Establish and empower users • Write own custom applications for… • Orders • Invoices • Audits • etc. • …using standardized interfaces and routines • …and modifying applications written by others • Order from anywhere <xml/>
