In  [[telecommunications network|network]], a '''managed object''' is an abstract representation of network resources that are managed. With ''representation'', we mean not only the actual device that is managed but also the [[device driver]], that communicates with the device. An example of a printer as a managed object is the [[Window (computing)|window]] that shows information about the printer, such as the location, printer status, printing progress, paper choice, and printing margins.<ref name="MS188">{{FS1037C MS188}}</ref>

The database, where all managed objects are stored, is called [[Management Information Base]]. In contrast with a [[Carrier interferometry|CI]], a managed object is "dynamic" and communicates with other network resources that are managed. 

A managed object may represent a physical entity, a network service, or an abstraction of a resource that exists independently of its use in management.<ref name="MS188" />

In telecommunications management, managed object can refer to a resource within the telecommunications environment that may be managed through the use of operation, [[Business administration|administration]], [[repair and maintenance|maintenance]], and [[provisioning (telecommunications)|provisioning]] ([[OAMP]]) application protocols.<ref name="MS188" />
