1) XL is transforming its Network Operations Center (NOC) to become more customer-centric through a 4-step roadmap involving alarm, performance indicator, and command log correlation, transmission and MPLS network element correlation, customer experience management, and service management.
2) In 2009 and 2010, XL consolidated alarms from different equipment management systems, correlated key performance indicators, alarms, and command logs, and implemented intelligent performance alerting.
3) Future plans include building customer experience and service quality management systems, completing infrastructure to support these, and implementing root cause analysis and inter-layer correlation across network layers 1 through 3 to improve fault monitoring intelligence.
