Main Categories in OSS and BSS

This video provides an explanation of the main categories of OSS (Operational Support Systems) and BSS (Business Support Systems).
OSS and BSS are the software applications used by large telecommunication service providers to help run their networks reliably 24 x 7 x 365.

If you’re wondering what the main categories of OSS / BSS are, then this is the right video for you. There are dozens of different functional capabilities, but we simplify them to just 10 of the most fundamental components.
These components range from customer-facing portals / apps that allow customers to connect and interact with a carrier’s network through to allocating resources on the network for those customers to use.

Since you’re connected to the Internet right now, it’s likely that these 10 key functional components of an OSS / BSS have helped to:
• Connect you
• Keep you connected (or help restore service when your connection is lost)
• Ensure your service is reliable
• Allow you to configure your service to meet specific needs
• Keep track of your payments (or credits) to ensure your service remains available
• And various other functionalities
You might not see most of the 10 key component categories, but you can be assured that they are working hard to ensure you have enjoyable networked experiences. Watch the video to find out more about them.
