Probably you have spent more than fifteen minutes to arrive here... but it's also true most of the actions are part of the configuration, not the installation. The process is straightforward and it can be easily explained. Even if you don't have advanced knowledge of Weblogic or Linux, it's possible to do it. So, as we can see in this article, OCSG is very easy to install now and it has a lot of features deployed out-of-the-box. Because it's a so extensive application supporting a huge number of business possibilities (Service API Exposure, Direct Carrier Billing, Policy Gateway, etc. ), a basic fresh installation is a very powerful way to focus in the functionality and forget problems with databases, OS and other technical questions and now we can have it in only 15 minutes!
