EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - This requirement introduces enhancements to MDONS (Multi-Domain Optical Network Services) that was added in R6 enabling e2e orchestration of optical services & resource management. Some of the functionality we plan to introduce for R7:

• Standards based enhancements: OpenROADM / ONF T-API topology updates, MEF 63/64 service definitions at design time

• Cross-carrier service decomposition - BSS / OSS coordination
• Asynchronous notification handling
• Intelligent domain link selection & routing 

BUSINESS IMPACT - The requirement will enable automation of the design and activation of optical services spanning service provider networks leveraging standards & will speed time to revenue.

BUSINESS MARKETS - Applicable to any service provider offering global enterprise services or services that otherwise extend beyond their own network resources. It also applies to service providers with independent operational units that effectively operate as separate service providers. Primarily targeting management of optical/transport domains through ONAP

FUNDING/FINANCIAL IMPACTS - While this automation may result in some CAPEX savings due to improved management of interconnect points, it will primarily reduce OPEX by automating some of the manual steps required for service provider interconnections. It will also allow service providers to respond more quickly to service orders requiring off-net resources, thus reducing time to revenue. It will enable support for SLAs and adherence to service constraints that potentially allow for the development of new premium service offerings.

ORGANIZATION MGMT, SALES STRATEGIES - There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this requirement outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.
