NetExpert monitors and controls networks and service impacting resources[1] using object-oriented and expert systems technologies.

[3] NetExpert is a scalable and distributable architecture that supports flexible configuration while maintaining individual component independence.

[3] This framework consists of a set of integrated software modules and graphical user interface (GUI) development tools to enable the creation and deployment of complex management solutions.

The object-oriented architecture of the NetExpert framework provides the building blocks to implement operations support and management systems using high-level tools rather than low-level programming languages.

In addition, the NetExpert framework employs expert rules and policies that replace complex programming languages and enable network analysts to model desired system behaviors by using GUI-based rule editors.
