Benefits of OSS and BSS in Telecom

Increased Productivity

OSS/BSS automation eliminates manual business processes and streamlines workflows, which helps you achieve faster service delivery, issue resolution, and returns generation.

Higher Retention Rates

When your communication services are backed by faster user workflows and well-implemented customer-facing tools, you build greater loyalty from each customer you win, as buyers and subscribers stay with you for the long term.

Streamlined Service Scaling

Cloud-native business support systems can effectively utilize extra processing resources as demand grows, ensuring stable operation under high loads and consistent system availability.

Reduced Operational Costs

As the need for manual work in team coordination, document management, and customer support decreases, operational expenses go down, and resources can be redirected towards new product development and process refinement.

Improved Decision-Making

Centralized analytics and streamlined digital reporting tools give telcos the information they need to continue making value-driving business and technical decisions, guiding long-term corporate success.

Simplified Compliance and Security

Compliance monitoring controls for both general and local data safety regulations, combined with tried-and-true security measures such as end-to-end encryption, MFA, and zero-trust network access, help you safeguard against sensitive information leaks and malicious cyberattacks alike.

AI Technology in Telecom OSS/BSS

Business Process Automation

Customer-Facing Systems

AI chatbots, as the first line of customer support or sales inquiries, help you filter out false positives, identify technical or customer-relations issues, and immediately escalate complex issues to the appropriate specialists, while also ensuring your customers have access to the help and guidance they need 24/7.

Business Intelligence Software

AI can process massive historical and real-time datasets quickly and accurately, turning your usage data, financial records, and software performance metrics into actionable reports and insights. These fuel your business success as the building blocks for improvements, new features, and business innovation.

FAQ

What is OSS/BSS in telecom?

In telecommunications, OSS and BSS refer to operations support systems and business support systems, respectively. OSS streamlines and optimizes core telco operations, such as network provisioning, service assurance, fault management, and other essential processes. BSS, on the other hand, consists of tools that manage customer-facing workflows, such as order capture, billing, customer relations, and support.

At SysGears, we develop bespoke business support systems and integrate with your network management toolkit to help you build a unified OSS/BSS infrastructure.

What is the difference between BSS modernization and a full BSS rebuild?

BSS modernization is the overall process of altering and improving the system to enhance performance, scalability, ease of use, data security, and other technical needs. Meanwhile, rebuilding is a modernization strategy that involves the legacy BSS system undergoing a major rewrite of its code, using new technologies and frameworks to help it meet current business needs. 

Other modernization options include rehosting or replatforming the solution to the cloud, refactoring its code, and rearchitecting it. Alternatively, feel free to contact us, and we will discuss the right approach for your BSS together. 

Can you build a single BSS module (e.g., a billing engine) without replacing our entire stack?

Yes, our developers have a wealth of experience working with existing systems to add functional modules, whether as part of a modernization strategy or feature expansion process. We carefully assess the relevant software to seamlessly integrate the additional functionality into your IT ecosystem, build the software module using compatible technologies, and conduct thorough quality assurance to ensure the rest of your digital infrastructure is not negatively affected by the new addition.

What challenges do telecom providers typically face when upgrading OSS and BSS?

The most common challenges faced by CSP companies include the complexity of existing software, cloud, and data migration risks, and significant friction when adopting new or modernized systems.

At SysGears, we carefully assess legacy solutions to successfully implement technical improvements and mitigate the difficulty of adopting modernized systems for staff and subscribers alike. In addition, we take a measured, phased approach to upgrading our customers’ software, with expert quality assurance, minimal downtime, data backup strategies, and gradual module migration to streamline and simplify the upgrade for all parties involved.

Can SysGears augment our in-house team rather than run the full project?

Absolutely! We can reinforce your IT department with specialized or cross-functional dedicated teams if you need to close wide expertise gaps, or onboard individual experts to augment your staff for precise, targeted needs. Either option provides you with highly skilled, vetted specialists in a shorter time frame than hiring, onboarding, and training new staff typically takes.

How much do SysGears’ OSS/BSS development services cost?

We follow a T&M (time and materials) model, where our customers pay exclusively for the hours that SysGears experts put into the project. Our rates range from $25 to $50 per hour, depending on the individual specialist’s service type and seniority.

How do I start working with SysGears?

To make the first step in our partnership, feel free to contact us via the form below, live chat, or email – info@sysgears.com. Next, we will schedule a short introductory call to discuss how we can help your telecom services thrive with custom OSS/BSS software, create a project roadmap, and get started.
