PSImccm - Radio network configuration: Less hassle, higher output

A key configuration problem in today’s networks is the large number of different vendors and technologies. For your configuration specialists this translates into an enormous diversity of tools and numerous new releases/updates, necessitating frequent, time-consuming changes – each one a potential source of errors. Now, with PSImccm from PSI Transcom you can minimize these problems, reducing their negative impact on cost-effectiveness (not to mention the sanity of your staff), and in the process achieve real improvements in network quality. PSImccm was specifically designed to speed up configuration processes by streamlining or automating support for the major reconciliation and provisioning tasks.

Easier to use, readily integrated
PSImccm comes with a graphical user interface, so screen views are highly standardised, enabling staff to work with a screen that’s already familiar, rather than having to adjust to the different screens of proprietary tools. Naturally, a smooth transition to PSImccm and its productivity-enhancing benefits is also assured. Thus integration into existing environments and needs is easy, while a range of ready-made standardised and proprietary interfaces ensures swift integration of tools and equipment from major suppliers.

Rules engine as motor of error elimination
Through its smart rule engine, PSImccm generates rules that allow provisioning data to be automatically checked for correctness and consistency. Rules can also be created to facilitate or automate other repetitive tasks, via job scheduling. Moreover, rules defined as ‘best practice’ are enforced net-wide, significantly improving best practice policy implementation. To cater to the demands of a multivendor environment, type models can be defined for each managed entity. Describing the relevant vendor-specific data, these models make it easier for your staff to monitor and implement new releases or updates. They also facilitate management of different software versions of the same element in parallel, e.g. UtranCell, as well as migration within the network.
