Following further strategic realignments within Nokia-Siemens Networks, I was retained as one of the relatively few ex-Motorola staff, as Global Services's Solution Owner for Multi-Vendor Configuration Management Services and Solutions, and as a Technical Solution architect for Service Fulfilment Solutions. During 2013 our Configurations Management solution evolved into the heart of Nokia's SON (Self Organizing Networks) solution for vendors. Also during late 2013 & 2014 I was closely involved with Telco Cloud from an SI OSS perspective: both in the operation of our OSS within a private cloud, and in the OSS requirements to manage the private Telco Cloud.
