and associated end-user support interactions. It cares for all fulfillment
and assurance processes applied to home networks and triple-play services.
The solution helps you deliver the service quality and experience your

The Alcatel-Lucent Digital Home Care solution is built around products and
expertise from Alcatel-Lucent and Motive. It benefits from both Alcatel-
Lucent’s expertise in end-to-end network solutions for triple-play and
operations support systems (OSSs), and from Motive’s position as a leading
provider of management software for next-generation broadband services.
The Alcatel-Lucent Digital Home Care solution is a standards-based,
vendor-agnostic solution. It manages new customer premises equipment
(CPE) based on the DSL Forum’s TR-069 management interface and is
designed to easily cope with legacy devices deployed in the field. This makes
Alcatel-Lucent Digital Home Care an open and multivendor management
