The purpose of this presentation is to describe the tremendous changes that are impacting Operations Support Systems (OSSs), aka Operations Systems (OSs), today, and why OSS developers and providers are being faced with challenges and opportunities previously unheard of. After a brief historical perspective of how OSSs evolved and the current dilemma that they face, the presenter covers some environmental and operational factors and transitions that are currently shaping and driving OSS development. The presenter concludes with a bottom line perspective for the OSS marketplace that includes some recommended requirements, the role of standards and the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) guidelines, and the impacts on education and training
