A NEW DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMOVER THE TOP OF THE NBN
DOUG NIXON - CEO
Key influences
1. The delivery of the nbn footprint.
2. Virtualisation of the network as well as servers – “cloud resources”.
3. Disruptive business models and players. Eg Amazon vs AT&T
Resultant Change
4. Service Providers need to see themselves as Digital Service Providers.
5. Services need to be delivered through an ecosystem of partners.
6. Product Engineering and Operations need to change to support these.
Service Provider End State – Over the Top of the nbn
In the Operations Centre of the future, OSS/BSS will not be systems, but a collection of functions similar to the trend towards network functions being componentised. Jenny Huang, Lead OSS/BSS Standards, AT&T
We’re seeing a standardisation of services and the emergence of commodity compute as something that is absolutely sufficient and capable of managing and running our business. Therefore the need for bespoke, engineered solutions becomes a thing of the past.George Glass, Chief Architect BT

Shared Specification Template
The RSP considers nbn access as a re-useable component.• API• Process• Specification
Discrete Supplier Processes
Standard Building Blocks 3. Specification & Dynamic API
Example Specification for Voice
Dynamic API Payload generated by specification
Product Specification in Designer UI
Standard Building Blocks 3. Specification aligned Process
Product Specification in Designer UI
Associated Process
Example Specification for NZ Broadband
API Improvement over time
Dynamic API Business Benefits• Rapid Change• Lifecycle Management• Multiple Concurrent Versions allows phasing of change per customer
Stage 1 Static, Hard Coded Expensive to Change Some lifecycle management
Stage 2 Name/Value Pairs Ok to change Poor lifecycle management
Stage 3 Dynamic Fast to change Good lifecycle management
