What is service assurance?

Definition

Service assurance (SA) is a procedure or a set of procedures intended to optimize performance and provide management guidance in communications networks, media services and end-user applications. Service assurance is an all-encompassing paradigm that revolves around the idea that maximizing customer satisfaction inevitably maximizes the long-term profitability of an enterprise.

But as this is implemented,
it leads to the following scenario
You start out with a simple tool to service your customers
But as your organization grows, so does your service assurance process
and what started out as a simple helpdesk application:
Soon becomes virtually impossible to manage!
agents use a different tool for every product...
... and solving problems is unstructured.
Managing service assurance for complex products has resulted in similar complex helpdesk processes

It gets even worse!

Managing service assurance processes results in extreme high IT costs and slows down process changes.

The solution?

pushing knowledge forward

Service Highway is the first service assurance collaboration platform. Instead of having one department handle all assurance aspects, Different departments can work together to solve known problems and optimize the service assurance process. Technical engineers deliver working solutions to the business, which in turn embeds these into their service process.
Instead of centralizing technical solutions into 1 system,
Service Highway stimulates the decentralization of tools. System experts are empowered to push their knowledge into service highway, without loosing control over their functions. Anyone can collaborate and create resources through Service Highway's standard solution interface. Through this interface, it is possible to integrate multiple systems into one application cleverly combining knowledge and tools.
Service Highway uses the methodology that enables the seamless integration between people and technology. Resulting in a positive approach in real time problem solving. It is an agile application where teams can act directly on changes in the business. Service Highway leaves the existing architecture in place. It is an integration layer to all existing tools and applications and combines data sources to standardize problem solutions.

Service Highway technology partners

ServiceHighway has its own core specialists (architects, trouble ticketing, process management, etc.) but also works with highly regarded partners to offer specialists in other fields of expertise, such as consulting, training, program management and so forth. This strategy enables us to stay completely focused on our core business and competences; service assurance. In order to offer the best specialists in various fields we work with partners who excel in their field of competence.

Past

As this image displays, the process of service assurance soon becomes complex when multiple components need to be connected. The number of connections grows exponentionally with the number of components. clearly, some kind of integration layer is required to simplify the architecture.
Conventional service assurance products centralize access to solutions, thereby simplifying architecture. This is a big step in the right direction.

Present

There are a few drawbacks though: the solution creating organizations have no control over the usage of their tools. Very often, this type of solution is completely handled by a technical department with no or little knowledge about the business' requirements. Moreover, every product innovation has an impact on the assurance product, since the integration is developed there. This puts a huge workload on the integration layer. The red triangle symbolizes this problem.

Future

The Service Highway solution solves this last problem by inverting the model. Solution creating organizations push their solutions into Service Highway. They directly become available to the problem solving organizations. Service Highway keeps system engineers in control of their tools.
Service Highway gives organizations what they need: not technical interfaces, but real, easy to use, functionalities.
