At the crossroads between new technologies and service management, the observability team designs and implements the monitoring infrastructure of Proximus. We provide systems that ensure a real time view for the operation centers of all events on the network and IT applications, and their impact on our customers and services.
We are involved in all evolutions of Proximus services and technologies (mobile and fixed network, new IT technologies) and we quickly need to design our tools to assure the best possible experience for our Proximus customers and support operational processes of various expert teams.
We are looking for experience with LiveSP/Live Action
Our current challenges:
Our Network and applications are quickly evolving, new technics (with Artificial intelligence, unsupervised anomaly detection, auto discovery of the service model?) have to be used to minimize the load on our operational teams.
Evolve from component to service monitoring to better assess impact of technical events on services/customers and prioritize/automate resolutions.
Shorten time to detect anomalies be more proactive / preventive.
Shorten time to repair introduce automation/ease the root cause analysis
Standardize the monitoring at Proximus while filling monitoring gaps
