Service Assurance SWOT
STRENGHTS Top correlation/IDM FM Voice: Circuit Congestion, VoIP Revenue Assurance / Transaction SA Advanced IP: FM, Point to point, MPLS Few service-oriented already: TP, FM,
PM
OPPORTUNITIES Integration of other LU assets Shaping: DSL & ATM, etc. New partners, channels, etc. Use of TP for IPDRs expanding into
new domains/services
WEAKNESSES limited top/cool data customers limited server in FM, PM, and TP weak/inconsistent branding SLA / Services story immature, no
common framework
THREATS Consolidations: MM, CK Startups (new ones, Riversoft) Service Provider economy Lucent software chaos
