Abstract:
A method for providing an operations architecture to implement a local service activation management system comprising the steps of:providing a physical environment including a local service telecommunication system configured to provide local telephone service to customers, that is configured to support a local service activation management system, wherein the local service activation management system is configured to enable a core telecommunication system to provide local telephone service to customers, and wherein the core telecommunication system is configured to provide telecommunication services outside of a service area that is local to the customers; managing the physical environment with managing hardware; supporting the managing hardware with support infrastructure such that the support infrastructure is configured to enable the local service activation management system to be administered; implementing a common integration platform, said common integration platform receiving an initial request that uses a first protocol to provide communication service transactional information in a local service telecommunication system that provides direct telecommunication connection to a customer initiating said request, said common integration platform translating the initial request into a second protocol comprehendible by the core telecommunication system, and generating a modified request that governs execution of the initial request using operation management procedures selected from a group of operation management procedures; and executing the operation management procedures in said modified request.
