Blue Planet, a division of Ciena (NYSE: CIEN), is closing the governance gap in network operations by unveiling Blue Planet Configuration and Change Management (CCM), unifying device configuration, change, and lifecycle management across multi-vendor networks. Backed by Blue Planet’s deep Operations Support System (OSS) expertise, CCM replaces fragmented tools and manual processes with AI-driven workflows to reduce risk, prevent outages, and strengthen the foundation for autonomous networking.

As networks grow more complex, configuration errors and unmanaged changes remain a leading cause of outages. Service providers must manage simultaneous manual and AI-driven automated changes across multi-vendor environments, often with limited visibility and fragmented control. CCM provides a real-time view of network state and activity, enabling service providers to safely scale automation and AI-driven operations. With embedded governance, it closes the automation loop by validating and tracking every change, reducing operational risk and strengthening network reliability.
