            Abstract : 
This paper presents an experiment with an integrated telecommunication management system construction. It refers to the development of FLEXOS, a system that accomplishes the configuration management and fault management of telecommunications networks, comprising equipment manufactured by Digitro Tecnologia Ltda. This work embraces the whole development process, from the information modeling and implementation of the Q3 agents to the management applications implementation. The analysis and modeling stages follow the principles established in the ITU-T recommendations for TMN, telecommunications management network. The management system was implemented using the Solstice Enterprise Manager management platform and the agents were developed using the Solstice TMN Agent Toolkit
