News Facts Oracle Communications today announced a new general availability release of its OSS applications including Oracle Communications Design Studio, Oracle Communications Order and Service Management Server, Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management, Oracle Communications Network Integrity, Oracle Communications Network Intelligence, Oracle Communications ASAP, and Oracle Communications IP Service Activator. The expanded Oracle Communications OSS family, when configured within the Oracle Communications Rapid Service Design and Order Delivery solution, can help CSPs design, launch, and deliver new consumer and enterprise services -- including LTE, IPTV, VoIP, data, and cloud/IT services -- quickly and cost effectively on both network and IT platforms.
