Wat ga je doen?

In this role you will be contributing to a T-Mobile Network Assurance consolidation project.

Network Assurance is currently organized in 2 stacks, where each stack has its own Network Operation Center, Alarm Handling System, Ticketing System(s) and triggering of Service Outage Communications.

The objective is to consolidate the System Landscape for Network Assurance and create:

• One System for Network Incident & Network Change Management (ServiceNow)
• A consolidated Netcool architecture with alarm enrichment for target networks
• One Inventory Endpoint for ServiceNow and Netcool

The new Netcool solution will:

• gather alarms from existing T-Mobile Netcool systems
• expose a new alarm data model to OneUFM/OneITSM (combined Netcool/auto-ticketing solution) in such a way that the capabilities of that solution will be leveraged
• implement a new enrichment framework (integration with Inventory Hub)

Verantwoordelijkheden / Responsibilities: 

The Netcool Architect/Designer will be responsible for gathering the Netcool system requirements and for creating the functional and technical design of the Netcool Object Server, and the Netcool Impact implementation and integrations that are required.

• Gather Non-Functional Requirements for the End-to-End solution
• Create the Technical Design for Test- and Production Environment
  • Locations
  • Hardware/OS/System software Unified Netcool & Netcool Impact
  • Network Connectivity Design Unified Netcool
• Create the Alarm Data Model Design
• Create the Integration Designs (with existing T-Mobile Netcool systems & OneUFM/OneITSM solution)
• Create the Alarm Enrichment Design
• Execute the Demand Management role towards the Development teams (T-Mobile & OneUFM/OneITSM)
• Create the Test- and Implementation Plan

Vereiste ervaring / Required experience
