> As the operator, view the live location/meeting status of my
vulnerable worker team, click to call them on demand
> Define automated actions – reminder, first alert, … emergency

Some of The Key Challenges
1. ‘Re-Package’ the network assets
•
Telecom in the flow
2. Resolve technical challenges
•
•
Normalization of telecom as foundational building block
Deliver robust, scalable, and time-sensitive services in a
SOA environment
3. Bring this new CEA capability to customers
All opportunities for leadership

Technical Challenges
Data privacy, confidentiality
and integrity
• Services X and Y may conform to
different data privacy and integrity
rules
Service Z
Service X
Orchestration
Service Y
• Expectation is that something
other than lowest common
denominator will be deliverable
(predictable and configurable)
Failure
Availability and Reliability
• All services will fail
• Availability- is the system there?
• Failure models of the Services X
and Y must be advertised to
properly provide a failure model of
the Service Z
• Reliability - does the system give the
right answer?
• MCeTECH 2008: Nortel proposes
a foundation for failure ontology
14
• In the past, the emphasis placed on
each differed for communication and
IT – worlds are not converging
• Requires runtime governance models
