Ontology Systems exists to eradicate the pain of OSS/BSS complexity with a radically new product and approach. Ontology's groundbreaking application, OSS/CAD, uses ontologies and semantics - technologies originally developed in military and intelligence applications - to unify OSS/BSS and infrastructure with unprecedented speed and accuracy, at a fraction of the industry's cost expectation.

OSS/CAD is used by Converged Fixed and Wireless Service Providers for:

  • Data Alignment
  • Service Management
  • Service Inventory
  • Customer Impact Analysis
  • Revenue Leakage.

OSS/CAD unifies systems to:

  • reduce billing errors in convergent enterprise services, and solve other Revenue Leakage issues
  • provide 360 degree customer visibility, Impact Notification and other  Service Inventory and Management capabilities
  • continuously perform a live alignment of cross-network topology, service and customer systems to fulfill Data Alignment and Migration requirements.

OSS/CAD is typically deployed within a few weeks of engagement.

Implementation is fast and painless.  Deployments which unify two to eight OSS/BSS systems have been achieved within 12 weeks of the very first engagement with Ontology.

OSS/CAD's bottom up process completely avoids the expense  and delay of the traditional "Big Bang" project, enabling Ontology to offer OSS/CAD as an on-site SaaS application.

This means that OSS/CAD can be deployed with practically no risk.  It is proven before it is deployed and provides the speed, accuracy, agility and cost reduction key to CSP's competitive advantage.

System Agility

  • Deploys in weeks, not years,
  • Systems added incrementally & independently,
  • Manages data alignment and change.

Lowers Costs

  • Practically no upfront design cost,
  • Far lower cost of integration and change,
  • Greatly reduced maintenance costs.
  • Founded 2006 by Benedict Enweani, former Orchestream CTO, and Leo Zancani, former Metasolv Head of Engineering, with key team members from Orchestream, Oracle.
  • OSS/CAD, the first semantic OSS, launched in May 2008.
  • Reference customers include BT (UK), QinetiQ (UK), Internet Solutions (ZA).
