Telcordia® Activator

Automates and easily manages all network and service activation activities across multiple domains and platforms to ensure a "first time right" customer experience

Activator consolidates and automates all the service and network activation processes to significantly boost accuracy and speed. This can reduce time to market for new services from months to weeks, and trim service order cycles from days or weeks down to minutes. It also speeds up the way services are updated to quickly benefit from new, more efficient network equipment features as soon as they become available.

With Activator, you can rapidly:

Configure new services

• Configure services using GUI-based wizards with no coding required
• Develop interfaces to external systems via simple, powerful scripting – no need for the expensive, traditional adapters

Implement changes in networks and services

• Change a service or add new services via GUI-based wizards
• Configure Tech Packs to exactly match the desired service representation

Achieve high activation success rate

• Perform transaction management functions such as prioritization, scheduling and queuing.
• Support any rollback scenario via flexible policies
• Benefit from built-in high availability and fault tolerance – even in the event of a server outage, activation is not compromised
• Utilize advanced connection management capabilities for synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, connection pooling and parking

Activator supports today's broad and evolving array of services and network technologies such as multi-play services, wireless, Metro Ethernet, MPLS, IP VPN, VoIP, and IPTV among others. It also activates circuits for technologies such as SONET, SDH, DWDM, FTTx, PON, ATM, Frame Relay, DSL, IP, and Ethernet. When activating customer services, it can do so by interfacing with operational elements such as Home Location Registers (HLRs).

As opposed to typical activation solutions, Activator consolidates all your service activation needs onto a single, flexible platform that integrates with the rest of your operational environment to reduce costs and lead times. It works with Telcordia® Granite Inventory to automatically update inventory information to reflect activation results — even under rollback situations or other problem scenarios. Its powerful interface technology allows seamless integration with inventory and other OSS from other vendors and internally-developed systems as well. The end result is an improved customer experience at a lower operational cost.
