CROSS Single Inventory
Significant savings in maintenance and performance

The core product of SDC is CROSS, a product of our partner company, CROSS Network Intelligence  (https://www.cross-ni.com/).

CROSS is a modern OSS (Operations Support Systems) comprehensive product that allows the maintenance of telecommunication network information and supports its management. CROSS has a unique ability to quickly consolidate and replace outdated OSS tools. The result is a clear and flexible solution. Consolidation brings significant savings in maintenance, performance, and competitive advantage through overall simplification of the OSS system.

  • CROSS is a unified inventory data model with built-in user-friendly modules for key processes in planning, design, and network security, covering the full OSS lifecycle.
  • CROSS synchronizes with systems storing parts of the overall network inventory, combining them into a coherent single source of truth and providing a platform for deploying and managing resources in the network infrastructure.
  • CROSS then further ingests additional data sources, such as live network data, other OSS for active devices, or even excel data sheets with inventory information, creating a fully horizontally and vertically integrated database. This results in a single source of truth for the network across all physical, logical, and service condition layers.

By deciding to implement consolidation or a specific project with CROSS technology, you gain almost immediate benefits:

  • It provides rapid mapping of existing data and is flexible enough to handle incomplete data sets, which are common among most telecommunications service providers (CSP).
  • You will become completely independent of any hardware, operating system, database type, cloud provider, etc., meaning you can use infrastructure that aligns with your IT plan and avoid being locked into a specific technology.
  • It solves many issues using built-in functionalities – such as Network Discovery, Root Cause Analysis, Service Impact Analysis, and more.
  • Pre-configured interfaces for third-party systems such as Provisioning, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), billing, and NMS (Network Management Systems).
  • The system operates as a service in a browser. The web architecture and associated flexibility are the best strategy to prevent solution obsolescence.
  • It provides a modular package of applications that can be used as a comprehensive operational system or address specific issues in the current enterprise solution.
  • It offers fast and reliable integration with third-party solutions, thanks to compliance with standards such as the TM Forum framework and ITIL.
