ONUS 3rd External Users Forum Oftel 17th June 2003

Agenda the story so far... ONUSMMTintroduction to ONUS’ developers: MMT Project Plan specific external usage: –Registration –Application –Numbering Scheme Presentation next steps

The story so far... E-Government target previous meetings: –Summers 2001 & 2002 –helpful in establishing requirements delays due to clash with other Oftel IS projects now User Requirement documented (us & yours as previously stated) MMTout to tender & awarded contract to MMT

Project Plan May contract awarded System Requirement Documented - by July development and testing - to October User testing - October & November Internal roll-out - by December External roll-out - from January 2004

now for some specifics & questions...

Overview: ONUS in action Registered User logs on User selects process: –Registration Update –Apply for Numbers Automatic ONUS response generated Change creates a Case (Numbers Reserved) Oftel NU processes Case (3-weeks) Oftel makes changes (eg, Reservation to Allocation) Oftel responds to Applicant

Two points on cost -v- benefits basis we are not automating external process for: –Number withdrawal & –Number transfer such Cases will be initiated internally following s, fax or letter (business as normal)

Registration to apply for numbers Communication Providers (CPs) must be Registered all registration will be logged on ONUS replace existing Annex to Application Forms

Registration - process having Registered, CPs will receive automatic acknowledgement from ONUS registration generates a Case once Case processed, Oftel will issue a temporary password by on 1st log-in Registrant will have to create own unique password (no need for use of E-Signatures)

How many Users per CP? good question… discuss: –options –security implications collective decision

Registration - content Questions –as per ‘Annex’ to Application Form –provide us with all information to assess CP’s network/ services & therefore eligibility for particular type of numbers –information updatable by CPs so as to support applications for, eg, new numbering with a new system diagram or service information

Making applications on-line only by Registered Users secure confidential process: –as with new or revised Registrations, creates a Case for Oftel –auto ONUS acknowledgement –decision from Oftel w/i 3-weeks

Applications - content Questions: –as per relevant Application Form –need to provide Oftel with all specific information to assess application (in addition to generic info in Registration section)

Numbering Data of OFCOM web site two types of information: CP specific, eg: –ongoing applications –what numbers has CP got General, eg: –who’s got what numbers –what’s the area code for...

Comms Provider Specific Information ie, secure access information registration & ability to amend/ update ongoing & past applications report Generation…? access to other CP activation contacts… ?

General Information the Scheme –who’s got what numbers –what is the area code for… what format? –‘Window’ Reports –Excel –CSV –XML

next steps based on internal & external user requirement ~ creation of System Requirement Model construction and testing over Summer once we’ve something tangible to demonstrate, & in due course test we’ll arrange more meetings… July/ August

AOB?
