Ontology Systems demonstrates virtual unified service models at Management World Middle East 2009

Ontology Systems demonstrates virtual unified service models at Management World Middle East 2009

London, UK, February 16, 2009 - Benedict Enweani, CEO of Ontology Systems, shares experience of a smooth path to NGOSS through agile virtual service models with the audience at the TM Forum's Management World Middle East conference in Dubai on March 4-8, 2009.

The presentation, entitled 'Case Study: Smoothing the Path to NGOSS through agile virtual service models using a practical semantic approach to legacy' will show delegates how a project within Internet Solutions focuses on lean operations by re-interpreting the fragmented and partially overlapping data silos held in mission critical OSS/BSS systems as a virtual semantic service model using Ontology Systems' OSS/CAD™ product.

With the use of OSS/CAD to improve the understanding and management of key business and operational services, Internet Solutions is at the forefront of applying ontologies and semantics to deliver a breakthrough approach to reinterpret business, operational and infrastructural data as a single, virtual Unified Service Model.

The presentation will explain how the semantic approach offers a way to deftly avoid obstacles presented by legacy silos and naturally minimizes/removes the need to change existing systems. Delegates will learn about the experiences gained applying the virtual model to deliver data integrity, runtime service-centric flexibility and Service Impact Analysis (SIA).

Benedict Enweani, CEO of Ontology commented: "OSS/CAD has enabled Internet Solutions to understand and maximise the value of the data within the infrastructure of their operational support systems." He added: "This virtual Unified Service Model gives Internet Solutions a single, transparent knowledge-based view of the services that run across their systems. In turn, this provides a set of applications which include Service Impact Analysis, Data Integrity Management and Change Management."

Ontology will be showcasing OSS/CAD at their booth in conference to demonstrate the breakthrough innovation achieved with Internet Solutions. - ends -
