In order to provide services to their customers, different telco stakeholders need to collaborate and share their assets. Indeed, this is for example required for offering B2B multi-sites services for an industry 4.0 partner owning multiple factories in different countries, or for B2B2C RAN sharing, inter Autonomous System or roaming. In order to cooperate they need to share information between their different IT systems OSS/BSS within data-space for E2E services assurance and management.

Currently, there is no way to do this in, for example, an Industry 4.0 scenario in which a partner operates factories in different countries, or for B2B2C RAN sharing or even roaming. This requires sharing information between different OSS/BSS in a trusted, secure and private way that allows for end-to-end service assurance.

This Catalyst will demonstrate the need for new data sharing best practices and standards and recommend automated mechanisms to ensure trusted dynamic end-to-end service assurance. This will enable communications service providers (CSPs) to seize new business opportunities and provide new services to customers, enabling the stakeholders to safely collaborate and share data and assets.
