Abstract

A method of provisioning telecommunications services includes receiving a first provisioning command comprising a first set of provisioning information. The provisioning command is received according to a generic provisioning protocol. The method also includes transmitting the first set of provisioning information to a telephony database to provision the telephony database. The method also includes modifying the telephony database to produce a modified database and receiving a second provisioning command comprising a second set of provisioning information. The second provisioning command is received according to the generic provisioning protocol. The method further includes transmitting the second set of provisioning information to the telephony database to provision the modified database. Receiving the first provision command and the second provisioning command according to the generic provisioning protocol allows provisioning of the telephony database and the modified database without modifying the generic provisioning protocol.
