A Service Oriented Network (SON) is one in which service providers use agile methods to rapidly create new products and services from re-usable components (known as Service Enablers).In order for products and services to have the maximum appeal to customers, service enablers must come from telco, IT and Web sources and providers.SON propositions must be secure and reliable, and make maximum use of future and existing investment for example, in NGNs, IMS, and IT infrastructure.To enable agile service creation and to reduce service provider costs, the SON proposition must be based upon an open, flexible standards based ecosystem.Where standards are available to support SON, they are inconsistent, incomplete, or non-interoperable especially across the Telco, IT and web domains.
Service Oriented Network – Problem Statement

Service Technology
Services are groups of software applications that have been packaged for use in the SON. The services interact using data that are then instantiated as objects. Interfaces are a mechanism to deliver data required for objects within the service to work.Frequently reused services and data elements should be standardized to reduce friction during integration.

5Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
Technology Centric
Services are delivered through common
transport.The customer experience is fragmented because each service requires a separate login and is in a distinct silo.Data is not shared across
applications so the customer must manually input and synchronize preferences, contacts, and other
metadata.
6Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
User Centric
Services are delivered through common
transport.The user experience is unified
by a common SON service enabler, profile, and
metadata.Key data is shared across applications.
The services work together in a single user experience.

Highlight of Current Activities (1)
ATIS’ Service Oriented Networks (SON) Forum was created in December 2008 to implement recommendations of ATIS’ TOPS Council SON Focus Group, and the Forum was successfully launched on March 10-11, 2009.The fundamental goal of the SON Forum is to progress standards related to the concept of Service Oriented Networks – facilitating the creation and execution of services, especially mindful of the need to support converged and personalized services involving cross-domain interactions.

Highlight of Current Activities (2)
ATIS believes it is critical that emerging standards that support Service Oriented Networks capitalize on the strengths of the telco providers, IT developers and broader web services provider communities.In order to accomplish its work, the SON Forum participants must represent the breadth of ‘service providers’ and include all relevant technologies so that the more traditionally telephony-oriented service needs, web services needs, and also additional content service needs can all be considered and common solutions synthesized. Three Task Forces have been established:
Policy and Data Models Task Force OSS/BSS and Virtualization Task Force Service Delivery Creation and Enablers Task Force
9Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
The SON Forum work items include the following high priority areas:
Common service enabler description including non-functional aspectsConsistency of 3rd-party interfacesPackaging of OSS/BSS components as service enablersIT Infrastructure VirtualizationCommon policy reference modelCommon data model requirementsCommon name space requirements

SON Value Proposition
It is about people!It’s not about devicesPeople are mobile, and they use services not technologiesSON is about services and services are everywhere.
It is about Globalization!Service supply chains are distributed and real timeBest of breed capabilities come from many industries
It is about Technology!Great technology melts into the backgroundReusable infrastructure reduces cost of new servicesSoftware and integration skills are keys to success
13Geneva, 13-16 July 2009 Fostering worldwide interoperability
Globalization – Service Supply Chain
The traditional supply chain integrates raw materials into a finished product that is delivered to a customer.
Globalization facilitates multiple suppliers with specialized roles working together in bringing a product to market
Service supply chains operate in a similar way except there is real time interaction between the suppliers during service invocation.The ability to manage the service supply chain is a core competency of SON companies.

Service Pot Luck
Each domain brings a unique capability to SON. These capabilities are complimentary but must be harmonized to work together.Web 2.0
