“…When the familiar pen-and-paper methods of self-analysis are enhanced by sensors that monitor our behavior automatically, the process of self-tracking becomes both more alluring and more meaningful.”
Gary Wolf.
In yesterday’s blog, we presented this image, which shows the gaps in EMC’s social networks that prevent “perfect” information flow across their orgnas.
The other message that leaps out of this diagram for me is how these types of structural holes might also prevent sensor networks from reaching their full potential when they proliferate in the future. It also demonstrates how the OSS operators can intervene to close structural holes if knowledge gaps are impeding the sensor network’s ability to learn.
The predicted volume of sensors in the future is staggering and is likely to have a big impact of carrier networks and their OSS. We’ll get to the Internet of Things (IoT) or “big sensor” in more detail in later posts.
Have you ever had an OSS or BSS project that’s impacted by poor data quality? The problem of data integrity gets raised on almost every
“One of my favorite things about designing software is designing the defaults. The defaults define the experience for everyone out of the box. And, therefore,
Have you ever been tasked with mapping out the processes for the telco you work for? Either as a way of documenting current state, or
In the last week alone, I’ve had two potent reminders that the world of OSS is simply (pun intended) too complex. This manifests in many
Here at Passionate About OSS, we are exactly that – Passionate About OSS (Operational Support Systems). We’re also passionate about BSS, NMS, or any other names you call the tools that help to operationalise your network.
