Project Description:

The purpose of this program(Confidential 394) is to leverage the efficiencies of the BellSouth 
(Southeast 9 State) Network OSS for the provisioning and maintenance of its CONFIDENTIAL services for AT&T (13 State) by streamlining ASI’s DSL inventory assignment and provisioning flows and by utilizing BellSouth’s (Southeast 9 State) BBNMS application and also to bring AT&T’s (13 State) provisioning and activation model closer in alignment with the 9 State (Southeast) model.
AT&T was integrated functions that were common between AT&T and Bellsouth in support of a National Business model.
