Abstract

An AMDF supporting Flow-Through management, allows a telecommunications provider OSS to maximize the automation of provisioning subscribers to services. Accordingly once a subscriber order is entered into the OSS, the remainder of the provisioning process may be automated, where-by the OSS communicates the connect and/or disconnect order to the AMDF EMS, which in turn communications with the AMDF controller and finally the AMDF performs the required cross connect. Upon completion of the cross-connect the AMDF would report the completion to the OSS, in order for the OSS to update its provisioning database. With Flow-Through automation, errors typically introduced due to human error are drastically reduced or may even be eliminated altogether. The overall time, cost and associated errors to provision a subscriber using an AMDF supporting Flow-Through as compared to today's fully manual method will be significantly lower, leading to a significant increase in subscriber satisfaction. ILECs will also be in a much better position to honor their responsibilities toward the CLECs with respect to providing service in a timely and cost effective manner.
