How otmachayut in Huawei, OSSii initiative aims to simplify the process of interaction between OSS systems in networks that use equipment from different manufacturers.

Key players in the industry agree that the effective interaction of OSS different manufacturers to reduce integration costs OSS, simplify the overall process of network management and reduce time to market for new services. In addition, OSSii encourages healthy competition between OSS systems network layer.
