Greenfield BSS/OSS for B2B data communications after the TDC Denmark merger

The merger with TDC Denmark brought together B2B data communications businesses with separate systems, product sets and operating practices. Rather than extend either legacy estate, the decision was to build a greenfield BSS/OSS target stack for B2B data communications.

Stand up a new BSS/OSS stack for enterprise data communications across two countries, on Ericsson and Cisco platforms, while existing customers continued to be served and the merged organisation was still forming.

• Two national businesses, Norway and Sweden, with their own networks and legacy systems.
• B2B connectivity products — multi-site, contract-specific and long-lived — that consumer-shaped stacks handle badly.
• A greenfield build with no option to inherit undocumented behaviour from the legacy systems.

A greenfield, Ericsson/Cisco-based BSS/OSS target stack, deployed as a common architecture across Norway and Sweden with country-specific content and network integration rather than two separate builds.

The merged B2B data communications business gained a single target architecture instead of two inherited estates. Greenfield forced the product, service and resource models to be made explicit from the start rather than reverse-engineered from legacy behaviour.

• B2B connectivity needs a model built for multi-site, long-lived services, not an adapted consumer stack.
• One architecture across countries works when the differences are pushed into content and adapters.
• Post-merger transformation is an organisational design problem wearing a systems programme.
