Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to effectively communicate business data to a plurality of business entities. In one embodiment, a system and method of effectively communicating supply chain management data to business entities are provided. In one embodiment, a data collaboration framework is loaded into a host server to provide one or more data collaboration models to business entities participating in the collaboration of supply chain management data. The data collaboration framework allows the creation of formulas for operating on supplied collaboration data, business rules for raising exceptions, and actions based on exceptions to be easily configured by an administrator.

Abstract: An operational support system (OSS) processing orders for high bandwidth connections on based on digital subscriber loop (DSL) technology. The OSS pre-qualifies the services based on data identifying a user location and on the availability of any resources which may be needed exclusively for the user location to provide the service. A port on a DSL access multiplexor (DSLAM) is an example of such a resource. By reserving such resources around (before or after) the pre-qualification stage, the OSS may ensure that the service order can be fulfilled with an enhanced probability.
