  • Patent number: 7689608
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for controlling network asset recovery for a communication network include receiving an identification of a plurality of non-utilized assets from an asset identification system. Business rules to be applied to the non-utilized assets are identified. One of the non-utilized assets is automatically identified for recovery based on the identified business rules. A job ticket identifying the one of the non-utilized assets is automatically generated that includes information from the received identification of the plurality of non-utilized assets sufficient to direct an assigned technician to a physical location of the one of the non-utilized assets. A recovery dispatch system associated with the one of the non-utilized assets is determined and the generated job ticket is submitted to the determined recovery dispatch system.
