HP Service Delivery Platform (HP SDP) Service Enablement provides service enablers to be used as building blocks by HP SDP to create cost-effective revenue streams on a Web-based platform. These enablers include location, messaging, call control, conferencing, device profile, content download, digital rights, presence, notification, and user profile. Service enablers provide an abstraction layer on top of network assets to simplify service development; they are offered to applications and are used to build more sophisticated end user services. Network gateways translate various network capabilities and protocols into common, simplified API sets for service development, interaction, and deployment. Third-party independent software vendors (ISVs) may be granted secure access to these service enablers, access to which is managed through the HP SDP Service Governance Framework.
The HP Service Delivery Platform Service Enablement layer consists of three elements:
1. Off-the-shelf feature servers, which provide a predefined set of capabilities, such as Oracle Presence Server, messaging servers, and HP OpenCall Video Conferencing Server
2. Application servers (AS), such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) AS, with multiprotocol support and a service creation environment
3. Service gateways, such as PARLAY X gateway and Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper (OCSG)

HP MDM covers the specific needs of consumer and business subscribers, and can be offered as an outsourced service via EDS, an HP company, or as a direct project via HP CMS Delivery.
HP MDM solutions include:
(U)SIM management: manages operator and subscriber data stored on the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card
Automatic device detection (ADD): real-time network component that is able to detect when subscribers are changing their device and to trigger external systems like a Device Configuration system with up-to-date triplet (IMSI/IMEI/MSISDN)
Direct messaging platform: creates a bi-directional SMS tunnel between the network and the device/SIM to deliver the settings to the devices detected by the ADD, or to reduce the time required to execute a large over-the-air (OTA) SIM campaign, or to improve the interaction between the end user and a back-end server for dynamic, SIM tool kit-related, value-added services
Unified Device Capability Repository (UDCR): allows operators to analyze their device population based on features criteria and to centralize all device profiles data into a single repository
Advanced device management engine: enables the creation and automation of device management tasks based on business rules
Campaign manager: enables the creation and execution of a predefined set of MDM tasks campaign for a large number of subscribers/devices
Device configuration: enables the operator to send the appropriate configuration settings for the subscribers to access mobile data services
Device diagnostic: provides tools to query, in real time, the end user’s phone, spot any potential issues, and suggest appropriate actions to correct issues or show the end user how to use the phone by taking control of that phone with the end user’s consent
Software and firmware management: provides operators and handset manufacturers with device software component management to remotely manage the software and firmware of the handsets over the air, or via point-of-sale tools
Device customization engine: enables mobile phone user interfaces, such as menus and background, to be customized based on end-user profiles and device profiles in order to improve the usage experience and encourage the maximum take-up of mobile data services
Service quality manager: enables operators to retrieve, through the use of an agent on the (U)SIM or on the terminal itself, the real-time data related to either end-user interactions or radio network quality
Device data synchronization: gives subscribers the ability to save, add, edit, and delete data via a friendly Web-based mobile user interface
Security and enterprise: provides enterprise customer IT managers with the correct tools to scan device content, lock devices, and erase data remotely, among other features
CMS Universal MDM Platform: When ADD is combined with UDCR, it creates a real-time inventory of which devices are being used by which subscribers. This means it can support a full-blown Equipment Identity Register (EIR) and become the central platform to manage devices.

Solution description
Service quality is critical to service adoption and customer satisfaction. Before services can be offered to consumers, they must be tested and validated for quality, security, scalability, and functionality across a range of digital devices. Traditional testing and validation uses manual processes, delaying certification and service introduction.
The CMS Testing and Certification Suite of solutions, based on HP industry standard business technology optimization (BTO) products and partner products, automates and accelerates the overall testing process for the launch of new services and devices. The suite provides validation for service components, service governance processes, and all elements that impact the total customer experience. In addition, the overall solution addresses services lifecycle management, including change management for applications and services.
Three modular, pre-integrated components comprise the suite; each can be implemented individually or as part of a comprehensive offering:
● Services Experience Testing, which automates the operator’s service and device testing process and addresses the following key use cases: - End-to-end service monitoring - Service testing on devices - Device testing and certification
● Services Quality Testing, which helps operators define service quality processes across both traditional telecom and new SOA/SDP environments for internal and third-party services. The solution addresses the following testing areas: - Application testing, an automated testing platform for both functional and regression testing of applications - Service enabler testing, which validates and exercises services, service enablers, and services brokered through the SDP - ISV applications self-certification, for automating certification of ISV services against SOA best practices, security, and development standards
● Services Performance Testing, to reveal how each element of a service will scale and how those elements will work together, before the service ever reaches the end user. It is aimed at SOA/SDP implementations and, for example, performs stress testing on service enablers.

Solution description
High service quality is critical to customer satisfaction, and expanded content choices are now the norm. As a result, the costs of monitoring large numbers of video feeds—often 100 separate feeds or more—for quality at various points along the workflow is pressuring the bottom line. The expense of monitoring and maintenance is compounded by the common use of proprietary multi-image display hardware that requires backhauling channels over expensive traditional video networks.
The HP Control Room solution uses off-the-shelf HP workstations and servers to receive and view multiple unicast or multicast streams in a variety of formats. It then places and scales them onto a single display with full video and audio monitoring and enhanced alerts for situational awareness via traditional feed monitoring combined with operational support systems (OSS). The solution features a scalable and configurable tool that enables your organization to encode multiple IP and baseband video feeds and store months of archived content. A simple and intuitive Web-based system is used for content retrieval, making it easier than ever for users to find and view content. The solution is made up of three software products: HP Video Wall for displaying the IP feeds, HP Media Monitor for situational awareness, and HP Ingest Archive for the efficient archiving of distributed content.
The HP Control Room solution delivers end-to-end IP monitoring and archiving capabilities using state-of-the-art, standards-based technologies. It is backed by HP’s experience designing, delivering, and deploying complex infrastructure solutions, and addresses the key operational challenges facing today’s media and entertainment companies and service providers. These include managing quality of experience across complex distribution architectures, responding to service issues rapidly by integrating video and service events, and controlling the costs of real-time archival operations while supporting regulatory compliance.
Solution value
● Monitors multiple IP streams on a single screen ● Allows operators to monitor streams at each step of the workflow—from ingestion through distribution
● Reduces integration cost of probes and alert management through a centralized monitoring and archival systems ● Enables faster response times to service issues with alert management ● Lowers operating cost versus tape-based archiving systems ● Increases return on investment by leveraging multiple stream types versus single baseband video solutions

The volume and types of content offered to consumers continues to grow and distribution channels proliferate, making it difficult to get the right content and advertising to the right consumer at the right time. In addition, the contracts surrounding content and advertising typically specify content delivery within specified timeframes, with significant penalties for failure to meet these obligations.
The HP Traffic Control solution simplifies all scheduling operations into a single, unified, and highly automated system that enables you to schedule syndicated content and interstitials for multiple delivery platforms. Now Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), IPTV, WebTV, and 3G services can all be scheduled at the same time. The operations are performed quickly, accurately, and with reduced headcount requirements.
The HP Traffic Control solution features HP software and off-the-shelf hardware to provide key capabilities within a service-oriented architecture (SOA) framework. This framework simplifies management of digital media workflows—from content syndication to scheduling issues to distribution/presentation. The solution accommodates the ingestion of various video/audio digital media content via existing workflows, and then can generate playlists via an intuitive scheduling Web application. These playlists define Video on Demand (VOD) or linear streaming in specified timeslots for the video/audio digital media content that is to be sent
across various types of streaming servers. Further, you can quickly create or update schedules for content that is live, on-demand, or advertising, plus, there’s automated contract management capabilities to help you achieve compliance with contractual terms and conditions for specific content.
Solution value● Increases efficiency and lowers capital and operational expenses by eliminating redundant systems ● Saves time by allowing template schedules to be pre-built prior to the actual content creation ● Manages content distribution, usage, and contracts ● Provides easy scheduling with content placeholders ● Enables data aggregation for reports and surveys ● Obtains rapid implementation of schedule changes across multiple platforms

Being first to market with engaging content offers competitive advantage. HP Media Workflow Master (MWM) helps to simplify and streamline complex media-related workflows from acquisition through content delivery. The modular, standards-based service-oriented architecture (SOA) solution enables the disparate systems within siloed departments to be merged into a single, homogeneous system. HP MWM enables you to more quickly repurpose and repackage content assets and get them into the marketplace faster. Where currently each silo has its own workflows and metadata models, HP MWM provides an integration layer to enable seamless implementation with existing applications and metadata models. Changes can be made dynamically, and evolve over time. The solution monitors and tracks both automated and manual activities, helping drive down re-work costs and inefficient workflows. The open standards design helps to ensure integration with existing and future environments without compromising existing assets. With HP Media Workflow Master, you can more fully leverage your existing media assets across the organization, operate more efficiently, and eliminate vendor lock-in.
Solution value● Generates new revenue streams through the reuse of existing assets ● Helps you to adapt to market trends more quickly by making dynamic changes to business processes and models ● Accelerates workflows by automating background operations and monitoring manual tasks for a quicker availability of assets to the market ● Achieves faster exchanges by automating cross-organization and cross-department business processes ● Enables your organization to focus on core business processes by hiding the complexity of your underlying infrastructure

Product description
The HP Equipment Identity Register (HP EIR) provides a centralized, highly-scalable database for storing the unique identification numbers that are assigned to each of the mobile devices operating within a mobile network. These numbers, known as the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), are primarily designed to act as a preventative measure against the use of stolen handsets and for controlling the serious threats from fraud and potential criminal activities associated with untraceable usage of such handsets. With the HP solution, Individual IMEIs can be listed in the “allowed” list until they are reported as stolen. At that point, they are moved to the “disallow” list and calls made from the device with the specified IMEI are not processed. This capability helps service providers protect their brand and improve compliance with government regulations surrounding handset security, while offering subscribers additional protections.
Product value● Prevents usage of stolen devices which helps to actively reduce phone theft● Flexibility for allow, disallow, and conditional treatment of handsets● Supports proactive fraud detection● Protects service provider brand image
Why HP?● Integrates with HP OpenCall HLR and HP OpenCall HSS for a comprehensive solution ● Proven delivery and availability of mission-critical telecommunications solutions ● Professional service delivery experts available worldwide

Product description
HP OpenCall Universal Signaling Platform (USP) is an integrated, standards-based signaling platform which serves as the foundation for developing and deploying a wide range of advanced telco-grade solutions. HP USP enables existing applications to evolve smoothly toward all-IP infrastructure, using any combination of protocols (SS7, SIGTRAN). Robust, proven, highly efficient, and reliable, it’s an cost-effective platform for building and deploying new solutions.
A key part of USP platform is the HP OpenCall Internet Protocol Signaling Transfer Gateway (IP-STG), which ensures the network connectivity to both SS7 and SIGTRAN. IP-STG can be deployed as a standalone product, transporting SS7 traffic over IP SIGTRAN networks. OpenCall IP-STG also provides an STP-Lite function, complementing core network STP and concentrating regional signaling traffic to core STP, and allowing for a cost-effective, geographically-dispersed network access point. It helps bridge the next-generation IP networks and the SS7 network, enabling service providers to connect present and future applications across multiple networks.
The HP OpenCall signaling portfolio accommodates the convergence of fixed, mobile, and broadband technologies, reducing the cost of operating networks, streamlining the introduction of new services, and simplifying migration from inflexible, vertically siloed legacy environments to IP environments that support innovative next-generation services.
Product value● Reduces OpEx and CapEx ● Simplifies management—both operations and maintenance—of legacy, hybrid, and next-generation networks● Leverages lower-cost IP-based technology and enables reuse of applications across this common infrastructure● Breaks down operational silos, replacing them with a unified IP-based environment● Expands the ability to quickly deploy rich, interactive services by separating the network connection from the application software
