NIx CM

Gain end-to-end visibility across the full CM lifecycle, delivering complete vendor accountability for every parameter change

A proven solution for network configuration
at scale

NIx CM transforms fragmented configuration management (CM) into a single, auditable system. Built on deep telecom expertise, the solution unifies daily CM lifecycle management, automated auditing, parameter history tracking and zero-touch provisioning, with full traceability from policy definition through to network change verification.

Problems NIx CM solves

Mobile network operators face persistent configuration management challenges that create risk, erode efficiency and impair network quality.
NIx CM addresses each of these directly.

Decentralised
baseline repositories

 
 

Decentralised
baseline repositories

The lack of a common baseline with automated lifecycle management creates critical data silos. Without centralised governance, audits become inconsistent and real-time tracking is impossible at scale

Uncontrolled
parameter changes

 
 

Uncontrolled
parameter changes

Vendor-initiated parameter changes without operator coordination cause unexpected network deviations, compliance gaps and significant extra workload for engineering teams

No configuration
management traceability

 
 

No configuration
management traceability

Operators lack visibility into daily parameter changes over time. Historical tracking of who changed what and when is missing, making root cause analysis difficult after degradation events

Disconnect between
detection and action

 
 

Disconnect between
detection and action

Finding a misconfiguration is only half the battle. In legacy systems, remediation is a one-way process. Changes are sent into production but never verified, leaving residual deviations undetected

NIx CM architecture

NIx CM - five composable modules in one unified platform. Each module addresses a distinct stage of the CM lifecycle and can be deployed independently
or as an integrated suite.

Lifecycle intelligence

NIx CM provides multi-dimensional visibility for every team involved in network configuration management across all operational areas.

Network configuration state

Full MO parameter configuration across all vendors in a single data warehouse. Explore live and historical network configuration data through multiple perspectives, including current state, configuration changes and time-based evolution analysis.

Baseline and exceptions management

Explore and manage network configuration baselines across any selected point in time. Create, review and maintain parameter exceptions and overrides with complete change history, including creation, review and deletion, with full history tracking.

Audit and inconsistency reporting

Identify and analyse operational configuration inconsistencies through list-based views and interactive dashboards. Support on-demand single-node audits for targeted validation of configuration state. Highlight deviations with expected versus actual values shown side by side and prioritise issues based on severity and recurrence to support remediation planning.

Process monitoring and data quality

Real-time visibility into ingestion, consistency and provisioning job status with automated failure alerting. Health checks validate that all network elements and parameters have loaded correctly before consistency runs, preventing false-positive deviations.

Policy assurance and governance

Unified governance layer for configuration policy management, covering baseline definitions, reference data management, imports and complete audit history. Automated validation of rule structure and logic ensures configuration consistency across all network element types and deployment scenarios before deployment.

Vendor accountability and coordination

Configurable history retention — daily snapshots for 30 days plus weekly for 1 year — ideal for seasonal capacity event review and vendor change auditing. Exportable reports provide evidence-based data for vendor coordination and internal SLA governance.
