Flanagan Consulting Viewsletter

 

ViewsLetter on Provisioning is a fortnightly email newsletter focused on automating the installation and modification of carrier services. As the first issue stated the problem, imagine voice call switching still done by manual cord boards. There aren't enough people in the country to handle the call volume.

Data traffic is growing rapidly and will soon exceed the world's ability to train and certify network engineers (operators) to set up services--unless the process is automated. To meet demand, carriers will need new procedures, new equipment, and new software management tools--creating hope for an economic recovery in telecoms.

We recognize the value of your time, and aim for a length of three pages of ASCII text per issue, no HTML or pictures. A link will point to an illustration or artwork on this web site when appropriate.
