Solutions for Software- Powered Networks Amdocs Network Rollout Solution Project Orchestration for Small Cell Network Rollout March. 2015
Transform the Economics of Small Cell Rollout Complexity Volume Lack of Automation High Cost Replace Many touch manual points internal and 3rd order parties handoffs involved with overall CSPs project need to co-ordination reduce process and complexity control Automate backhaul design process: feasibility & design Manual in one processes inadequate to keep up with high volume demand for small cell rollout Standardize designs with templates to enable design Small once cell projects deploy need often to be highly repeatable Orchestrate across field, backhaul, supply chain, third party resources Current tools and processes do not scale well Enrich (too many field engineering separate tools with and complete, systems) real-time data to ensure one trip installs (deploy, configure, connect, turn up, test) Execute CSPs have complete, to cut the fast, costs end-to-end, of small cells repeatable processes deployment at OpEx scaleby a factor of 3-5 times! 2
Challenges in Small Cell Network Rollout Lack of end-to-end process orchestration across multiple systems, organizational groups, and external partners Lack of centralized information single source of truth project plan integrity and design configuration information Lack of agility to scale, and to handle in-flight changes Network rollout and change processes are inherently cross functional Project Manager Network Planner Finance Field Engineer 3
Business Impact Project delays More site visits (truck rolls) Impaired quality Lost accountability Business Impact Higher project costs Can t meet project volumes Network rollout and change processes are inherently cross functional Project Manager Network Planner Finance Field Engineer 4

Case Study Small Cell Rollout Major US-NA Converged CSP Business Drivers Macro rollout process does not scale for high volume small cells Small cell process needed to scale x10 & x3 times faster 35% manual steps Lack of partner coordination on joint project plan Scattered processes & tools Results Achieved Delivering real business value Operational in circa 6 months 2,000+ projects running parallel 100+ users in parallel Significant reduction in effort Deployment time accelerated High TCO & lack of agility High cost of fallout, delays, errors & re-work High data inaccuracy Simple change in process, model or interface impacts many systems Major saving for automotive efficiencies expected over 5 years Agility & low TCO enabling ongoing process improvements 10
