An element manager for a telecommunications network comprises a data store and first and second interfaces for connecting the data store, respectively, to a network manager and to the individual network elements managed by the element manager. The data store comprises a network of cells. Each cell is connected to at least one other cell by an individual communication channel and each communication channel permits two cells to send messages directly to each other. The network of cells includes a sub-network of cells arranged in the form of a management information tree. The sub-network includes a cell (60) which represents the root of the management information tree, a cell (61) which represents the network and cells (62 to 68) which represent elements of the network. The cells are connected by communication channels (68).
