Colleagues - whatever the form of network built in the next few years
turns out to be, and irrespective of the result of the election, there
will be a need to nail down the IT system interactions for the B2B
interface between the network operator(s) and the wholesale customers
of the network.<br>
<br>
Some of you may be providers, and many more will be wholesale
customers. Either way, you will need to develop B2B systems and
processes to interact with the network and perform adds/moves/changes
for your customers.<br>
<br>
I will be grateful if you could help out by reviewing and
sanity-checking this requirements specification for operational
processes and B2B systems interactions, and letting us know your
thoughts, suggestions and improvements. Even if you have never
participated in any Comms Alliance activity before, then please
consider reading and responding - your fresh eyes and fresh ideas may
pick up things the drafting team may have overlooked.<br>
<br>
Many Thanks,<br>
Paul<font face="Verdana"><br>
