ETMS Reporting Exadata POV (Proof of Value) Results

The Enterprise Trouble Management System (ETMS) platform rationalizes the trouble ticketing

applications within Verizon. The current platform has a number of performance and scale issues

that are dramatically impacting end user performance as well as representing significant

operational challenges including:

– Reporting Performance

– Scalability of the messaging services

– Challenges in replicating data between environments

The POV was conducted October 2013 at the Oracle Solution Center in Santa Clara, CA,

utilizing a quarter rack of Exadata with a test harness and use cases provided by the Verizon

team.

This proof of value (POV) has demonstrated that when deployed on Exadata, ETMS Reporting

performance was increased in the 1,000+x range.

ETMS Reporting on Exadata positions Verizon in 2014 to tie into their new BI tool and have

their documents in the reporting system.
