History
NetExpert was initially developed as a framework for fault management in 1989. The framework started as an offshoot of combining expert systems technology with network management. It was subsequently enhanced to provide activation and performance collection, and many companies worldwide now use it for those purposes. In the mid-1990s OSI developed over 120 adapters for NetExpert fault, activation, and performance collection for a host of network element manufacturers.
In the second half of the 1990s, OSI started to package applications to help reduce the time it took to develop adapters. These became known as the eXEL series and included FMeXEL, CMeXEL, and PMeXEL. The eXELs were based on the NetExpert rule language and provided application logic out-of-the-box. This helped accelerate the time it took to deploy applications. A policy framework called Distributed Management Policies (DMP) introduced after the year 2000 added automation to the existing NetExpert framework. DMP policies enable deployment without rule writing. New applications based on DMP are now available to provide service assurance and service management for many telecommunications industry domains and services.
In May 2009, OSI launched NetExpert Neon that provided Service Impact and Service Quality Management solutions.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
