  • Service provision in a telecommunications network

Whenever an update of service provided to a particular customer is required, such update is carried out centrally at a service creation point. In the service creation point, data defining the current executable code deployed at the service control point for that customer is recovered to enable recreation of the existing executable code to be carried out. The current code may then be modified regardless of which service creation point is carrying out the modification.
