Huawei Advantages in Interface Integration
Experience 14 Years, 300+ Projects experience in IN, IPCC, Customer Care and
BSS E2E
IT & CT Huawei is a CT & IT player, deep understanding in both IT & CT
SOA Plug-in integration adapters base on SOA architecture which makes

Architecture application integration easier and more effective.
Flexible protocol adapters and tracking tools covering almost all

Flexible common charging protocol including DCC, SMPP+, Web Service, etc.

SID Helps Easier Integration
TM Forum's Information Framework (SID) is a key element of the TM Forum Frameworx Integrated
Business Architecture and is in use worldwide by service providers and vendors. It provides that
service providers, software providers, and integrators use to describe management information.
a common reference model for Enterprise information
1 SID allows easier, more effective integration between software applications.
2 Otherwise it is very difficult to coordinate different applications because they have different data
model.
In December 2009, Huawei NGBSS

achieved the SID certification, with
the highest level and the most
comprehensive scope among the
industry vendors.
See Huawei SID certification at:

 Telnet
 Supports one service request to many network elements based on business rules
 Supports multiple parallel sessions
 Supports synchronous/asynchronous session management

Provisioning Engine (Request Processing)
 Request Authentication
 To check whether the request systems which initiated request are
permitted
 Request Validation
 To check the validation of request, including syntax and semantic
 Request Decomposition
 To decompose the service request to atom order according to pre-defined
processing logic
 Order Dispatching
 To dispatch the work order to responding network equipment with specific
protocol and command
 Session Management
 To maintain the connections with network equipments. Multiple sessions
can be created and adjusted automatically according to the workload of
network element. The session mechanism could be synchronous or
asynchronous.

Provisioning Engine (Request Processing)
 Prioritized Provisioning
 To set the priority of service. The higher service order will be executed first to ensure
important request be fulfilled first.
 Scheduled Provisioning
 To define the processing time of service order. The service order will be only executed
when time is arrived.
 Fault Tolerant Control
 To ensure the efficiency and accuracy of network order execution according to fault
tolerant rules. For example, the failed order can be ignored in process of conditional
request execution. Or the request will be halted in case of any failure.
 Flux Control
 The system can adjust the service provisioning speed by increase/decrease the order
dispatching speed.
 QoS Control
 Provisioning system will monitor the order execution time, and re-submit the order in
case of overtime or abnormity occurred.
