Complexity of systems Large number and diversity of network

elements and events Heterogeneity of network elements Networks and network elements managed

by specific and distinct platforms Variety of communications protocols

Introduction – SIS Introduction – SIS

SIS – System for Integration of Supervision Telemar management systems

Largest Brazilian Telecommunication Operator

Fully operational in the 16 states The platform is in constant evolution Modular and expansible — it allows

integration with new modules
