Many of the large international telecommunications companies operate from
locations all around the globe. Such dispersion increases the reliance on information systems to manage the business effectively.

  • Model the Business process into a series of workflow

  • Track the process of Information build for an order as it crosses business units.

  • Document all the steps and revisions for all interconnect orders, albeit, new, upgrade, down grade, modification or cancellation.

  • Monitor Progress of the ordering process, escalate when necessary.

  • Monitor the utilization of the interconnection and support the capacity Management process after order is in place.
