Telcordia® COMMON LANGUAGE® Services Information Service

Providing the industry with a single, flexible approach to define and communicate service activation, assurance and billing requirements.

Service providers, content providers and network operators need a way to describe their services in a manner that they can all understand and that also enables them to partner to deliver truly “integrated” services. Using a tag/value model we have created a Standardized Service Order Format that is consistent and usable for ALL orders, regardless of the service or underlying technologies.

Using our one, flexible approach to define and communicate service orders, service providers can define and manage all reference data necessary to define, code and decode any order. Our Common Language Services Information Service helps our customers to:

  • Simplify and reduce the amount of effort required to roll out a new service
  • Reduce the cost associated with OSS/BSS modifications required to support new services by up to 35%
  • Accelerate time to market for new services
  • Contribute to improved revenue assurance
  • Offer OPEX avoidance from reworked service requests
  • Minimize cost of in-house service information naming resources (staffing)

Our experts can help you design an implementation of service orders for new services based on new technologies. Working together, we determine your individual needs and guide your implementation of the industry standard Uniform Service Order Codes (USOCs) and Field Identifiers (FIDs). All of these codes fit within the Standard Service Order Format and are stored in our Common Language environment along with supporting documentation as accessed through the Code Center.

Our Services Information Service delivers a well-defined, managed approach to defining all services through a single, flexible framework that can be deployed to provide discipline and efficiency across a provider’s BSS (Business Support Systems) and OSS (Operations Support Systems) or in the case of converged services, across multiple providers.

All of the Common Language Information Services provide information via data registries, which make available large lists of published data that is relevant to a broad range of operators. Also provided is reference data, which provides a dictionary or coding guide that forms the basis for coding and interpreting the information stored in Common Language catalogues and your systems in a meaningful and consistent manner.
