BSS Transformation

Alepo’s BSS Transformation lets service providers upgrade their legacy Business Support Systems (BSS) to a truly digital 5G-ready BSS stack, empowering them to deliver digital-first customer experiences and automate business processes. With a fully modular BSS, Alepo offers digital transformation options to suit every context: full-stack deployment for greenfield operators, complete replacement of a legacy stack, or adding adjunct systems that operate alongside legacy BSS in a phased approach.

What is BSS transformation?

BSS transformation modernizes telecommunications networks by replacing a legacy business support system (BSS) with a digital BSS, enabling operators to introduce advanced digital services. The latest and most evolved digital BSS stacks are 5G-ready and support highly contextual and differentiated offerings, automate processes and back-office operations, enable an omnichannel approach to customer engagement, and more. As BSS transformation enables service innovation, lowers operational costs, improves ARPU, boosts overall revenue, and helps with future-preparedness for 5G.

How do you minimize risk in BSS transformation?

There’s no argument that the benefits of BSS transformation far outweigh the risks. These risks will depend largely on context, but one that operators can anticipate is large capital investments. To ensure they derive swift ROI, they can consider deploying a modular digital BSS platform that supports phased deployment of different modules and capabilities, enabling them to transform as they grow. Complications in migrating services and subscriber bases can be prevented by devising a robust migration strategy. Importantly, choosing a future-proof cloud-native 5G-ready digital BSS will secure their investment for many years to come.

Increase Operational Efficiency

Legacy OSS/BSS contains complex proprietary systems that drive up operational touchpoints and perpetuate slow organizational processes. Alepo’s Digital BSS facilitates exponentially faster implementation of changes as it possesses the following features:

Intelligent – fully modular architecture, self-healing capabilities, and CI testing
Cloud-native – not dependent on hardware and is on public cloud, which also increases longevity
Open APIs – conforms to standards and integrates with anything
Automated – provisioning, fulfillment, testing, chatbots
Microservices architecture – flexible decoupled services coding, allows adding new components in the system anytime and ensures scalability

Lower Costs

Alepo’s digital transformation solution deploys easily and translates into significantly lower TCO compared to legacy OSS/BSS, through features including:

Adaptable modular architecture
Flexible deployment models (physical, cloud, hybrid)
24/7/365 GTAC assistance
