ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed having concurrent processes that install different aspects of telecommunications service. In one embodiment, the provisioning method may comprise: (a) accepting order entry notifications; and (b) initiating an initiator process for each order entry notification. The initiator process in turn initiates a set of processes that operate concurrently to provide different aspects of a telecommunications service. The processes in the set may include an access process that arranges for installation of a connection between a premises and a communications network, and a truck roll process configured to arrange for a separate visit to the premises for installing equipment. Alternatively, the processes may include an equipment ordering process that arranges for the procurement of equipment to be installed on the premises, a local number porting process that arranges for transfer of a phone number, and a virtual components process that arranges for programming of network switches.
