Service Catalog: A Tool for Defining and Managing Telecommunications Services

Comarch Service Catalog platform acts as a configuration core for defining service rules and enables the centralization of service specification management, which aims to increase automation of the end to end service fulfillment and service assurance processes.

The role of a telco Service Catalog becomes even more crucial with NFV/SDN technology, where it can be used to model service chaining and drive service orchestration, furthering the development of telecom as a service.

Comarch Service Catalog is compliant with the TMF SID standard and enables the management of customer facing service (CFS) specifications, as well as their decomposition and mapping into resource facing service specifications. In this way the product enables customer services to be translated into supporting technical services. In particular, technical services based on virtualized functions can play the role of “building blocks” for creating customer facing services and telecommunications as a service.

Comarch Service Catalog is pre-integrated with Comarch Service Inventory, which is responsible for managing service instances so that they are created according to service specifications.
