Smallworld Solution• Manages network data in a geospatial
context– So all network information is correctly
positioned as it is in the real world– Enable faster decision support through
better knowledge of the network• Consolidates all network data into a
single centralized database– Replacing multiple systems storing OSP,
ISP, schematics, splice diagrams….• Shares data with other OSS systems
through SOA based integration– Integrates with CRM, NMS, ERP and
provisioning systems for improved business process support
• Different client software available depending on type of user– Planners, field users, marketing users
