As a service provider, you’re seeking to deploy innovative new services and more AI-driven network operations to enrich the customer experience and remain competitive. Yet most legacy inventory systems, which are siloed, fragmented, and nearing end of life, can’t provide the unified and accurate view of network resources and services required to transform your operations. For these reasons and more, the network inventory system is often considered the foundation of the OSS, making it a key area in need of modernization.
A single source of truth for OSS modernization
Blue Planet Inventory (BPI) offers a modern approach to inventory management. This open and multi-vendor software application provides a single, unified view of hybrid resources and services across multiple vendors and domains to optimize critical planning, service activation, and assurance processes, also accelerating the adoption of AI in your operations. Built on a common Cloud Native Platform (CNP), BPI is pre-integrated with our orchestration and assurance applications to accelerate service lifecycle automation and your OSS transformation journey.
