OPF MNP FG Monthly Update Frank Stuart-Brown OCT/NOV 2001
The MNP Industry Growth • > 1,000,000 ported since Jan 99 • Quarterly figures awaited from Oftel
The Project Board KEY ACHIEVMENTS DURING LAST PERIOD • MNP2 Process went live on 3rd September and phased implementation ended on 1st October. • First ports under new process completed on 1st October with no reported problems. • Monthly figures are comparable with old process • Logica programme management fulfilled all their obligations to bring the project inline with the new deadline and costs. • Key factors have been co-operation and pragmatism amongst all team members and the major network operators.
The Project Board ACTIVITIES PLANNED • Monitoring remainder of stability period • Finalisation of the escrow agreement (Logica to retain sealed copy of system source code and baseline during interim) • Delivery of project library to Project Board (by Logica, CDROM) • Upgrade release 1.23 • Upgraded help pages • API XML problems fixed • Revision of closed entry after PAC expiry • Contact List facility planned, and under budgetary consideration
Operational Review Group • MNP 2 • Meeting 17th Oct • Change requests received and discussed, to be submitted to Softwright • Bad Debt determination passed back up to MNP FG • Orange report problems with API dialogue with Softwright in progress to determine problem area • BT Cellnet report Migration problems. To submit change request proposal
MNP Production Manager • The duties of this post have been taken over by the Operational Review Group
OPF MNP Focus Group • The FG has thanked Logica for their tenacity in driving the MNP2 project. • Bad Debt – Still ongoing. It was felt that as the relevant regulatory people already attend this forum, that it was better discussed here for a report to go back to Oftel. • New Chairman – John Blakemore from BT Cellnet is to take over the chair of the OPF MNP FG from Frank Stuart-Brown for the ensuing 6 months.
Fixed Line & MNP2 Process • Outgoing FG Chairmen of NGNP and MNP have had brief e-mail dialogues and agree in principle for some sort of harmonisation. • New Chairmen will need to take this further during their time in office.
