Enable Service Convergence

In today’s fast paced communications environment, the ability to support a wide range of network architectures, service types and industry standards may mean the difference between success and failure.

The Service Lifecycle Model was developed with this diverse set of services and networks in mind. Rather than supporting solely circuit- or packet-based networks, the Service Lifecycle Model is truly network convergent. It enables service providers to integrate the platform into multiple networks simultaneously, preserving investments in legacy infrastructure while deploying cutting-edge infrastructure to support new IP-based services.

The Service Lifecycle Model also facilitates the integration of external applications and services such as third party content providers and external marketing companies.

Lower the cost of Integration

The SLM draws on standards and best practices from the communications and internet industries to develop a scalable, flexible and standards-based architecture that serves as an industry-leading integration platform.

Flexible Architecture

As the foundation of a modular platform, the Service Lifecycle Model enables service providers to deploy across virtually any architecture—whether distributed, centralized, or hybrid. Points of administration and management can be located anywhere, no matter where the collection and processing of network activity and transactions occurs. This enables service providers—especially those operating globally—to support organizational and regulatory needs while still ensuring security and system availability and reliability.
