Abstract: A method includes retrieving a first data set from a switch within a network, the first data set including a set of switch records. Among the switch records included in the first data set is a first switch record associated with and including a field identifying a first trunk group from a set of trunk groups included within the switch. A second data set is retrieved from a configuration management system configured to facilitate an operation associated with the network. The second data set includes a plurality of configuration records, which includes a first configuration record associated with and including a field identifying the first trunk group. When the field included in the first configuration record differs from the field included in the first switch record a report is produced.

Abstract: A method includes issuing a retrieval instruction, such as a database query, to retrieve from a database system a datum associated with a network circuit established outside of the United States. Upon receiving the datum from the database system, it is determined, based on the datum retrieved, whether the network circuit is incurring a charge. It is further determined, based on the datum retrieved, an amount of revenue generated by the network circuit. When the amount of revenue generated by the network circuit is below a predetermined threshold, a termination instruction to terminate a service associated with the network circuit is issued.

Abstract: A method includes issuing a retrieval instruction, such as a database query, to retrieve from a database system a datum associated with a network circuit. Upon receiving the datum from the database system, it is determined, based on the datum received, whether the network circuit is stranded or whether the network circuit is incurring a charge but is not generating sufficient revenue. When the network circuit is stranded, a disconnect instruction to disconnect the network circuit is issued. When the network circuit is incurring a charge but the amount of revenue generated by the network circuit is below a predetermined threshold, a termination instruction to terminate a service associated with the network circuit is issued.

Abstract: A method includes retrieving a first data set from a billing system configured to facilitate a billing operation associated with a network. The first data set includes a plurality of billing records, which includes a first billing record associated with and including a field identifying a first circuit from a plurality of circuits included within the network. A second data set is retrieved from a configuration management system configured to facilitate an operation associated with the network. The second data set includes a plurality of configuration records, which includes a first configuration record associated with and including a field identifying the first circuit. When the field identifying the first circuit included in the first configuration record differs from the field identifying the first circuit included in the first billing record, a correct identifier associated with the first circuit is determined. When such a discrepancy exists, a report is produced.
