Summary
AOE is a simplified end-to-end service delivery construct that enables
streamlined workflow for high scalability, proactive network monitoring
for SLA compliance, and solid decision support logic designed for
operational efficiency. ADTRAN’s AOE solution transforms the
traditional operational environment from equipment configuration
and provisioning to a service-oriented approach that aligns with the
service providers’ operations. Hardware tasks have been automated
within ADTRAN’s management system, eliminating the training and
equipment knowledge required of customer service representatives.
