Provisioning & Service Activation Solutions

One of the major components of C²SM are our solutions in Provisioning and Service activation. RFD & Associates knows the complex issues associated with carrier-to-carrier integration and service provisioning. RFD & Associates has years of experience implementing these solutions and can bring a great amount of leverage to new projects. The provisioning practice was started in February 1998 when RFD & Associates started working with MetaSolv’s OSS product TBS. RFD & Associates has since widened its expertise by developing custom provisioning solutions for carriers and implementing carrier-to-carrier integration products.

RFD & Associates has developed a delivery based methodology & project approach that helps ensure the success of implementation and integration projects. Accelerated Solutions Methodology (ASM) was created to deliver technology solutions quickly with repeatable results. Project deliverables, tools, test clients and other intellectual capital from OSS implementation and integration projects are stored in our indexed repository (C²SM). RFD & Associates’ project approach delivers projects with smaller teams and quick results using ASM and the C²SM repository.
