I found a useful website that provides a good introduction to OSS at www.osstransformation.com I'm surprised you didn't point this out because it seems to be sponsored by Amdocs too.

I see your point and agree in many respects. I guess the GPS analogy is where we have been in terms of IT systems - i.e. the OSS only serves one function say providing support for voice. Now we are in a multi-play world (i.e. customers want more than one service - like broadband plus video) you are correct the single purpose analogy breaks down. Perhaps the GPS analogy needs to be updated and we should think of a platform, like an apple iphone or android device, running a GPS app. Hi Milton – thanks for the feedback.

For most of us, the GPS device serves a singular purpose: Get us from here to there. If GPS was dynamic, could have services added to it -- e.g. integrate with a real-time traffic system like Waze -- and could continue to be a device of choice as each user wanted to add services, then the OSS reference would be apropos.
