Telco 101 - Understand Telco Technology

Understand Telco Technology – Telco 101 Project

The Telco 101 project, is a project designed to map where we make a difference on our account (a huge mobile telco company) from a technical leadership perspective and where today Sun plays a key component role in there Architectural direction. The Telco 101 project is a real opportunity to understand how we technically lead and is designed to cover all areas of Technology from the Handset, to the IN network, to the Service Delivery, to the Back end OSS & BSS systems and Back to the developer community for the deployment of new innovative services. The output of this project will be a detailed technical diagram, a written overview, User cases and example of how the technology works and a usable slide deck, all designed to help us fully understand the global footprint and enable us to to push Sun products and partner solution across our Global account.

The Project will map around 60 countries IT architectures ... WOW this will be big and will involve many many technical points of view.

As a Sneaky Peak of this project I have attached a very small segment of my Telco 101 Drawing . Today the 101 project is on a 9 foot square piece of paper and growing by the day and this of course will become to big to handle and involve a lot of poor orphaned trees - So we are joining the digital age and having it processed into a lovely set of electronic web pages appearing soon at a web site near you "http://sunandvodafone.com".

So why are we doing this ..... To Fully understand how Sun impacts this rather large account from the Handset to the Network and to understand where our technology is used today and where we can position and grow our technology footprint in the future ... But this is not just about us, it is also about our partners and there many cool solution and innovative strategys for the telco market.

If you went to the CEC in San Fran a few weeks back you would have seen myself and Olaf present the Telco 101 project, if you did see us what did you think ? (nice comments I hope) In addition we covered our overall Technology engagement from and Industry trends from Service Delivery, Mobile Devices futures, Java, Desktop, Content, OSS & BSS etc

If you want to know more about this cool and critical mapping of our technology onto a "Real" Telco Network operator stayed tuned - we will share more on our next team con call and as we speak the information is being digested for the "http://sunandvodafone.com" web site

Share your views on how technology really makes a difference .....
