Course Overview

This advanced programme provides a practical foundation in the architecture, components, integration models, and operational role of Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS) within modern telecommunications environments. The course examines how OSS and BSS support the complete telecom service lifecycle, from product and service design through ordering, provisioning, activation, assurance, billing, charging, customer management, and revenue processes. Participants will explore the relationship between network operations, service management, commercial processes, and customer experience. A strong focus is placed on understanding system architecture, functional domains, data flows, interfaces, integration patterns, and the interaction between OSS/BSS platforms and network technologies. The programme also addresses API-driven integration, service orchestration, automation, cloud environments, and evolving digital telecom architectures. Through practical architecture exercises and telecom scenarios, participants will analyse OSS/BSS landscapes, map end-to-end service flows, identify integration points, evaluate architectural dependencies, and develop structured approaches to modernising telecom support systems.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyse the role and evolution of OSS and BSS within telecommunications.
  • Distinguish between core OSS and BSS domains and their business and operational responsibilities.
  • Understand the end-to-end telecom service lifecycle supported by OSS/BSS platforms.
  • Analyse the relationship between network, service, resource, customer, product, and revenue management systems.
  • Examine common OSS/BSS architectural models and functional components.
  • Map data, process, and service flows across integrated telecom platforms.
  • Evaluate integration approaches between OSS/BSS systems and network environments.
  • Apply API-based and event-driven integration concepts to telecom architectures.
  • Analyse provisioning, service activation, assurance, charging, billing, and customer management processes.
  • Identify architectural dependencies, integration challenges, and operational risks.
  • Evaluate modernisation approaches involving cloud, automation, orchestration, and digital platforms.
  • Develop practical architecture views for telecom OSS/BSS environments.

Who Should Attend

This programme is designed for Telecom Engineers, OSS/BSS Engineers, Network Engineers, Telecom Architects, IT Architects, Solution Architects, Service Management Professionals, and Technical Project Managers working within telecommunications environments. It is also suitable for professionals involved in telecom operations, service provisioning, network management, billing, charging, customer management, digital transformation, systems integration, and technology strategy. The course is particularly relevant to telecom operators, service providers, technology vendors, and organisations undertaking OSS/BSS transformation, network modernisation, service automation, or digital customer experience initiatives.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain the purpose and architecture of modern telecom OSS/BSS environments.
  • Identify major OSS and BSS functional domains and their relationships.
  • Trace an end-to-end telecom service from product definition to activation and billing.
  • Map interactions between network, service, resource, customer, and commercial systems.
  • Analyse OSS/BSS interfaces, data flows, and integration dependencies.
  • Evaluate common integration patterns used across telecom support systems.
  • Apply API and event-driven integration concepts to telecom use cases.
  • Analyse provisioning, activation, assurance, charging, and billing workflows.
  • Identify operational and architectural risks within complex OSS/BSS landscapes.
  • Evaluate the impact of cloud, automation, orchestration, and digitalisation on OSS/BSS architecture.
  • Develop logical architecture diagrams for selected telecom OSS/BSS scenarios.
  • Assess OSS/BSS modernisation requirements and identify practical improvement priorities.
