This is not only hard to manage but also introduces many weaknesses as Operators try to offer similar services to their entire customer base.Therefore, many Operators consider uniting customer care functionality into a single domain. This type of convergence is considered to be one of the early steps toward achieving so called 'Full Convergence'.

Enterprise Application Integration
Enterprise Application Integration provides a systems integration technology enabling different applications to interact in a standard, well-defined and controlled manner. In a way, it is an implementation methodology to drive an integration project. EAI aims to transform current IT environments so that it supports business objectives better and produces high return on IT investments.
EAI provides an infrastructure where application domain can achieve to plug-and-play.

Performance Analysis
FIFTYNET Technologies engineers have been providing project implementation and SI projects to one of the biggest Network Operators in Europe in the last ten years. In today's fast growing Telecommunication market, performance is everything. You usually need big machines to crunch complex tariff models, promotions and invoices in a timely manner.
However, as the systems (HW,SW) are becoming more complex, it is sometimes very difficult to determine where performance bottlenecks are. Sometimes, the problems can be due to IT network connections, hardware, storage, database or application.
FIFTYNET Technologies has a Performance Check List types questionnaire to determine what type of Performance Analysis services to offer. A full offer might include domain experts from all HW and SW elements. However, if the organizations have a good idea about performance bottlenecks then more focused experts will be deployed.
After FIFTYNET Technologies' analysis, corrective tuning actions will be specified and if agreed, will be taken by FIFTYNET Technologies
