What Blue Planet Orchestration is
Blue Planet Orchestration automates service ordering and activation for communications service providers operating networks across multiple vendors and domains. Its Service Order Management application handles orders from creation and updates through completion or cancellation. Multi-Domain Service Orchestration uses model-driven abstraction and intent-based orchestration to coordinate end-to-end activation across vendors, layers, and domains. The product can work with Blue Planet Inventory and Unified Assurance and Analytics to support automated validation, remediation, and re-optimization. Integration options include TM Forum Open APIs, open southbound APIs, resource adapters, REST, and Kafka. The product page lists compliance with TM Forum, MEF, ETSI, and 3GPP standards. It runs in Kubernetes-based cloud environments, with AWS, Microsoft, and Google cited as examples, and can coexist with legacy OSS in brownfield environments as automation expands. Blue Planet also offers implementation and integration services. Its Cloud Native Operations Service includes security scans and patches, proactive health monitoring, nondisruptive updates, and 24/7 expert support for the Cloud Native Platform. Pricing is available on request.
