BUSINESS DRIVER
This section describes Business Drivers needs.
Executive Summary - Preonboarding & onboarding is used to "load" a vendor's PNF package which contains artifacts for the PNF.
Business Impact - Preonboarding & onboarding is a business imperative because it is vital because ONAP needs to be able to "load" PNF artifacts which define how the messages, and how the PNF behaves, and the PNF descriptors.
Business Markets - Applies to PNFs within a service operator's network (VNFs are handled with a different wiki). Applies to all markets that might use PNFs including Wireless, wireless, optical.
Funding/Financial Impacts - This use case can potentially save a large amount of OPEX because there is a lot of time associated with manually onboarding a PNF which would have to be done if this use case were not implemented.
