Longview Software value-added products and middleware were designed, developed, and selected for NETeXPERT customers. Each component was customer funded by one of the top-20 NETeXPERT customers. In this section we will provide a high-level overview of each product component, the value it provides to users, and overall product and licensing.

Longview Software builds upon the base-line Unified Management Architecture (UMA) which allows Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to capture intelligence and knowledge in the form of rules and objects for their OSS solutions.

In the diagram below all NETeXPERT OSS Framework components are identified at a high-level (see hexagons). Longview Software value-added components are highlighted (see blue rounded-rectangles).

Longview Software value-added components have been developed to reduce the level of effort in deploying and integrating to the NETeXPERT framework. These are highlighted below:

• Reduce NETeXPERT rule maintenance and deployment costs with Version Control Distribution System (VCDS). See related VCDS Blogs:
  • VCDS Problem/Solution,
    
  • VCDS Positioning, and
    
  • VCDS ROI
• Increase operational efficiencies by giving users the ability to manage NETeXPERT alerts anywere and anytime through NETeXPERT Web Alert and Web Paging.
• Minimize NETeXPERT Gateway downtime to increase Service Assurance and/or Fulfillment availability using Gateway Central (GC) and Automated Gateway Management (AGM). See related GC/AGM blogs:
  • Reducing OpEx with Gateway Central
• Deploy an end-to-end Order Entry to flow-through Service Activation system with Business Process Management
• Leverage Service Oriented Architecture and Web Services in your Next Generation OSS integrations

All products can be applied across multiple NETeXPERT systems as shown below. System A, B, and C represent various use cases:

• Regions: East, West, North, South
• Domains: IP, Transport, Wireless
• Technology: Switches, add drop multiplexers, cross connects, routers
• Function: Fault, Performance, Activation, Discovery
• Process: Development, Test, Production
• Hot-Stand-By: Primary & Secondary

Synergies: We believe all CSPs have one or more NETeXPERT server(s) and therefore can immediately benefit from these value-added components.
