Background
 Bachelor Degree Thesis

 October 1st, 2008 - July 22nd, 2009 in Caracas, Venezuela.

 WSI Consulting Group is a Venezuela/Florida-based technology consulting

firm and it is sponsoring this presentation

 I am based in PRTC, Puerto Rico, as MetaSolv Production Support for

ClaroTV DTH Project
 Modeling of the administration of CANTV METRO ETHERNET
network with ORACLE METASOLV

Roadmap
 This is a complete overview on how was proposed to model the CANTV Metro
Ethernet network with Oracle MetaSolv

 Reference models TNM and eTOM were applied to define a prototype of the
Metro Ethernet network

 The main challenge was the lack of documentation

 It was designed a step-by-step configuration methodology

 It was a fully customized configuration of Products, Inventory and Equipment

 Through videos will be shown the main configuration processes defined in the
configuration methodology

Conclusions
 Prototype Definition
 It was optimized the order management flow for the CANTV
Metro Ethernet products based on the eTOM model optimized the
work flow, estimating to impact the business processes of the
company

 It was developed a prototype of the CANTV Metro Ethernet

network based on the TNM models that allows the administration
of products, service provisioning and inventory control all in a
single application: Oracle MetaSolv

Conclusions
 Prototype Configuration
 The step-by-step configuration guide works as a general guide
on how to model a complete network. This methodology might
help not only a Metro Ethernet nor a MetaSolv modeling, but any
network modeling over any OSS

 Based on the Quick Configuration Guide, it was configured a

prototype of the CANTV METRO ETHERNET network: products,
provisioning and inventory
