Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for automating data transactions in a CLEC interface model. A computer-implemented method for provisioning trunk circuit orders is provided with an interne interface to a computing device to exchange information. A trunk order issued by a first organization is received at the computing device. A first notification of the trunk order is sent to a second organization. A confirmation in response to the trunk order is received at the computing device. A common interface is provided for information exchange. Processing time is decreased for modifying, creating, and deleting trunk circuits in a telecommunications network. Records are maintained and automatically cataloged with time and date-stamps to keep a history for reference.

Abstract: A method, and graphical user interface are provided for monitoring the status and forecasting the exhaust date of communications links. Initially, data ports are monitored corresponding to one or more communications links over a period of time. Next, utilization statistics are polled and stored in a database. Thereafter, an average and a rate of change are calculated using the utilization statistics. Based on these calculations, a date of exhaustion can be forecasted. The user interface further provides a user the ability to monitor the status and select multiple communications links to ensure data is flowing properly.
