Nokia’s IDM Enhances Reporting Capabilities Across Large Telecommunications Networks
The Nokia 5529 Inventory Data Manager (IDM) is a sophisticated inventory management application that serves as a centralized hub for network information, facilitating the swift generation of comprehensive inventory reports across the entire network or targeted segments. These reports contain vital details, ranging from equipment configurations to the statuses of individual circuits, ensuring thorough insight into network assets and operations.
The 5529 IDM streamlines inventory data collection, reporting, and integration with Operations Support Systems (OSS) by leveraging the universally acknowledged XML/Service Oriented Access Protocol (SOAP) Web service standard. Network element (NE) data is conveyed utilizing the TM Forum Multi-Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI) v1.1 standard. It also diminishes OSS integration expenses and intricacies while expediting the time-to-market for introducing new NEs.
The 5529 IDM represents an advanced component within the comprehensive access management portfolio, encompassing the 5520 Access Management system (AMS) and the broader 5529 family of products.
Features and Benefits of Nokia 5529 IDM
Time Savings
The 5529 IDM boasts several time-saving features designed to streamline inventory management and enhance operational efficiency:
Integrated GUI with the 5520 Access Management System (AMS): By seamlessly integrating with the 5520 AMS, users can conveniently specify complex filters, view results, and manage elements from a single interface.
