  1. Practical Advice to Leveraging ITIL Version 3 Service Catalogue and Service Operation Management Processes in Telcos Nina Prodanova, Managing partner, ITCE, www.itce.eu MCT, MCDBA, ITIL,MSF, MOF

  2. My Objectives • To present one vision toward moving away from network-centric to customer-centric operations and: • Integrate operational teams around common customer/revenue driven service management processes • Centralised Inventory (CMDB with SID extensions) • Centralized service desk • Centralized operations center • Common service catalogue • Common terminology (ITIL 3 or eTOM) • Single process (ITIL 3 or eTOM) • More focus on end to end services 5th National Conference - Telocomunication Technologies and Services, 2 April 2008, Sofia

  3. Telco Challenges • Increased customer expectation for high quality and high availability service – particularly corporate • Large number of services, high service complexity, large number of data sources for measuring service quality • Convergence of ‘IT technologies’ (TCP/IP) and ‘Netheads’ and ‘telco technologies’ (Radio, GSM/CDMA/UMTS) and ‘Bellheads • More and more market services from Telcos are underpinned by traditional IT technologies such as middleware and web • Is there really a difference between IT and Telco? 5th National Conference - Telocomunication Technologies and Services, 2 April 2008, Sofia

  4. Telco is Network and IT - One example is the unified communication as a Telco service • Single phone number (at work, mobile, SoftPhone) • Single mail box (messages, voice mails, faxes) • Presence information substitute the standard dial tone, free and busy tones • Conferencing – voice, video and application sharing (white boards) • Unified access from anywhere – office, home, mobile, Internet cafe • Based on the industry standard - SIP 5th National Conference - Telocomunication Technologies and Services, 2 April 2008, Sofia
