Scoping and Requirements Gathering
Implementation of a new BSS system is a long, tedious and risky process for both Communication Service Providers and BSS Vendors. Changing a product's vendor to best fit the Operator's architecture, business models and business processes requires careful planning and involvement of all parties.
An initial and crucial step to the overall process is the scope definition and gathering of the requirements. Following ATANOO's 3 steps process, supported by ATLooks Studio, promotes the chances of making the scoping phase a successful one.
The 3 steps methodology includes
- Scoping - clear boundaries definition of the architectural elements, operator's products and business processes that are included in the scope.
- Requirements gathering - detailed, step by step process to capture the new requirements, while ensuring constant cross mapping between any applications, interfaces, and processes impacted by each requirement.
- Deliveries - ATLooks studio flexible output capabilities are used to create a variety of documents to cover the needs of different units of both the Service Provider and the vendor.
