Local Performance and Monitoring Agent from 8:00pm until 8:00am each day.

When a call was received, the monitoring agent will collect customer information and create a Customer Service Request (CSR) in an SAP based ticketing system called SMS, and utilize the customer's input to establish the priority of the issue.

Traffic impacting events

o(Emergency) are immediately routed to the next level of support according to a pre-defined process.

oFor all other priorities (Low, Medium, High), the monitoring agent will collect key information and a search in a known solutions database named PRIMUS, then dispatch the case to the appropriate Customer Network Support (CNS) team for analysis.

Usecase Development/Maintenance

Customer issues identified through the CIC/CSR process, Emergency Handling, and other support channels are utilized to build "usecases" for proactive support.

A usecase is a PERL script designed to collect specific information from the Ericsson equipment, compare the resulting data against predefine criteria, and issue an observation report to proactive support's centralized monitoring point.

The scripts may be loaded and/or executed from a variety of platforms

oNextNine - a commercial 3rd party application

oSONAR/ITK - an Ericsson trace server installed in the UMTS network

oEarly Warning Service (EWS) - a data collection application on the

Ericsson OSS

Proactive Support Monitoring (24x7, with rotating shifts)

All observations generated by the proactive support usecases are routed to a centralized monitoring point.

The monitoring agent is responsible for acknowledging these observations and taking the appropriate action based upon severity, number of occurrences, or trends in system performance.

The monitoring agent will be asked to create reports, send notifications of critical issues to external customers, and review historical evidence to identify trends.

Key competencies/experiences for a Local Performance and Monitoring Agent include :

Good communication skills, since I interact with external customers, often in a traffic impacting situation. Experience in a customer operation center is a plus.
