We base our future structures and actions on thequalities of the Vodafone Way: Simplicity, speed and

trust. Every process, every product, every service

without added value for our customers will either be

improved or abandoned. This way we inspire our

customers and grow as a company.

LTE is the next evolutionary step for VFD2

Advantages of LTE

Higher bandwidth

High Speed Internet in rural areas

Increase customer base

Reduce network TCO (technology, support systems, etc)

Smart Network: self-Optimising and Self-Organising

Amdocs proposed the right solution:

Amdocs OSS as the strategic LTE platform to support network planning, rollout and maintenance

Amdocs is committed:

To invest effort to understand our system landscape

To deliver a solution within the required timelines

To adopt VFD2s requirements into their OSS product roadmap (Integrated Roadmap)

To support us in ensuring Return on Investment for our project, underlining the validity of our decision

to replace legacy OSS with Amdocs

To leverage the onsite Amdocs TEAM in Dsseldorf to ensure optimal communication and creative,

reliable teamwork

Why did we choose the Amdocs solution for LTE ?

Technical Scope & PrinciplesScope of Solution

> Inventory of record for all LTE equipment, VLAN configurations, IP Adressing etc.

> Automated processes for supporting rapid site roll-out

> Utilise existing processes within legacy systems for planning capacity in the corenetworks and for service assurance

> Tactical interfaces phased to SID/SOA over time

Design Principles

> All New LTE Objects and circuits models etc. to be mastered in Amdocs OSS

> Use Process Automation & Device Models for LTE (Amdocs Product Packs)

> Minimise Object Duplication between systems

> Maximise process automation within Amdocs OSS to simplify user processes

Planner Efficiency

Accelerated processes for LTE planning and rollout

Intelligent interfaces for a Future-Proof Solution

Ensure Business Adoption

Improved SME collaboration and transition readiness

Reduced TCO

LTE Inventory Packs and LTE Device Packs are part of the core product

and will reduce effort and implementation time when LTE hardware updates take place

Accelerate ROI

The LTE implementation on Amdocs OSS will mark an early milestone in realizing return on

investment

>Project approach:

You must have onsiteAmdocs presence

>Management Attention:

Presentation of VFD2 business objectives to Amdocs management at start of project was a

good vehicle to reconfirm the importance of this project and secure Amdocs management

attention

>Project Iteration Planning

Find the right balance between rigorous design document signoff vs flexibility in the

implementation

Ensure visibility to future iterations and manage design implications at an early stage
