OSS Visibility Index for July 2008
OSS News Review has released our OSS Visibility Index ratings for the month of July 2008. The OSS Visibility Index is a list of the most visible companies and products and services in the telecom OSS/BSS industry.
The OSS Visibility Index is published on a monthly basis and comes in two parts. The first part of the OSS Visibility Index consists of the rankings of the companies that were most visible online during the reporting period. The second part of the OSS Visibility Index consists of the rankings of the OSS products and services that were most popular during the reporting period. This third installment of the OSS Visibility Index includes data compiled during July, 2008.

1. Metasolv

For the month of July 2008, Metasolv, and Amdocs remained at the top of the list of the most visible companies in the industry (versus June 2008, these two companies were also at the top). Comptel slipped to fourth and Cramer jumped to third on the list.
Subex continues to stay at the top but went down one spot to 5th overall. Openet jumped up a few spots to 9th, as the were 14th during June 2008. Openet was previously 7th during May 2008.
The company OSS Visibility Index focuses specifically on the companies in the OSS industry. Rankings are based on many factors. Data is compiled on a regular basis from several online sources, including OSS News Review internal data, as well as other factors that OSS News Review monitors throughout the month.

1. billing
2. interconnect billing
3. revenue assurance
4. service assurance

25. mediation
26. fraud
27. mediation in telecom
28. billing telecom
29. support
30. call detail record format
Billing and revenue assurance continue to be popular, but interconnect billing jumped to 2nd overall for the month. Mobile went down a few spots to fifth overall, perhaps in line with reports that consumers are buying fewer cell phones.
Mediation was previously 7th but is now 14th (telecom mediation) OSS/J went down a few spots, as OSS/J was previously 9th. Top-up billing, a newcomer to the list during June 2008, is nowhere to be found this month.
While the industry product and service OSS Visibility Index focuses on products and services provided by OSS companies, OSS News Review found it helpful to include data that does not necessarily describe an OSS industry specific product or service.
