Patent number: 8204981Abstract: A method of managing telecommunications services is disclosed which involves storing product data defining a plurality of telecommunications products, each product definition representing a service which may be provided to users of the applications and telecommunications network and comprising one or more service parameters defining characteristics of the service. The networked resource of application servers connected through telecommunications networks is rolled out and enhanced based on the product definition, the market forecast demand for the products and trends derived from actual, historical take-up of the products. Services are provisioned in accordance with the product definitions in the product data. The performance of the network in relation to the provisioned services is measured, and the product data and the product definitions are modified in dependence on the measured performance.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Amdocs Systems LimitedInventor: Richard Mishra

Patent number: 6339587Abstract: A method of operating a network management system for a telecommunications involves satisfying a request for a connection path having a specified capacity between two specified termination of the network. The network comprises a plurality of connections between network nodes, each connection having a predetermine capacity. The method comprises first searching a store of routings and available capacities to identify a connection path to satisfy the request. Then the method determines whether a connection path with adequate capacity is present in the store. If no such path is present in the store, then the method proceeds to testing a model of the network to identify at least one suitable connection path between the requested terminations. Subsequently, the method proceeds to adding any suitable connection paths, identified to the store, and upon identifying a connection path having the requested capacity between the requested terminations, allocating the identified connections so as to satisfy the request.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1998Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: British Telecommunications plcInventor: Richard Mishra
