OSS Standardization
All OSS work is done per the Customer’s defined standards and procedures. If required and requested, KCI will develop a plan to migrate from non-industry standard equipment and facility naming to Telcordia standard (CLLI’s, CLF, CLS, CLM, etc).
Full Network Surveys—Physical & Logical
KCI’s Field Services Organization performs complete physical audits of offices, while our Network Engineers remotely access the network elements for logical audits.
After a logical audit of the network elements and the OSS inventory system is completed, a true “as built” network is established and discrepancies are eliminated.
We are committed to the success of our Customers and therefore obligate ourselves to provide consistent, best-in-class Support and Service.
