OXG Germany: Telecommunications Innovation Continues

Our successful integration with Altice Labs' NOSSIS One OSS for OXG Glasfaser GmbH has delivered comprehensive end-to-end orchestration for one of Europe's largest fiber-to-the-home deployments.

OXG now manages field operations across infrastructure serving up to 7 million customers throughout Germany with:

• Seamless orchestration from network planning through field execution
• Real-time workforce visibility across distributed infrastructure projects
• Flexible field service management that adapts to evolving business requirements

"When OXG was founded in 2023 we started with an IT greenfield approach. Thus, favored pre-integrated suite components over single application solutions, and preferred microservice architecture over monoliths to ensure a fast landscape setup and a seamless interoperability within and across OXG's new IT landscape early onwards. With NOSSIS One and Zinier's field service platform, today, we have achieved systemic end-to-end support for our core process 'Network Construction to Active Customer Line' - we're ready to scale up!" - Thorsten Nieser, Head of IT at OXG

Strategic Platform Guidance

Chief Product Officer Andrew Wolf's Q&A on the Buy-to-Build approach provided critical insights for organizations evaluating field service management platforms.

"Traditional platforms have some flexibility, but when you get into the details, they ultimately fail you." The solution isn't choosing between building and buying - it's choosing a platform that adapts to business needs rather than forcing business adaptation to software constraints.

Zinier's approach delivers enterprise-grade FSM modules out of the box while enabling unlimited customization, providing weeks to value without vendor lock-in.

Field Service Management in Two Years

CEO Prateek Chakravarty outlined the transformation path for field service management over the next 24 months, emphasizing the shift from one-size SaaS to flexible platforms built around AI agents.

The "Crawl-Walk-Run" Framework:

Crawl Phase: Mapping operational choke points across dispatch, technician, and IT teams to identify highest-impact automation opportunities.

Walk Phase: Implementing specialized AI agents for specific workflows - inventory management, scheduling optimization, customer communication - working alongside human expertise.

Run Phase: Orchestrated AI agent collaboration handling complex multi-step processes while humans focus on relationship management and strategic decision-making.

"That world is near term and we'll get there very quickly." The transformation timeline is accelerating as organizations recognize the operational advantages of human-AI collaboration over replacement models.

AI Agent Specialization

Our approach to AI agents focuses on domain-specific expertise rather than generic automation.

Building specialized AI agents designed specifically for field operations nuances, with deep understanding of technician skills, parts inventory, customer relationships, and technical documentation.

These agents work together seamlessly, much like experienced dispatchers, providing context-aware automation that enhances rather than replaces human expertise.
