Filed:

Nov 10, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/705000

Inventors:

Ronald D. Day - Richardson TX, US
Donald Pitchforth - Rockwall TX, US

Assignee:

Verizon Business Global LLC - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37920702, 705 26, 705 34, 705 40, 709220

Abstract:

A method and system of provisioning resources installed in a network element. Resources are installed in the network element. As resources are placed into service, a notification is transmitted to the vendor. The vendor generates an invoice, and the service provider generates a purchase order. Furthermore, a capacity planning system may monitor the system as resources are placed into service. If the amount of spare resources fall below a predetermined limit, the capacity planning system may transmit a request to the vendor for the additional equipment. In this manner, resources may be installed prior to the actual need for the resources. The resources may then be paid for by the service provider as the resources are needed and placed into service, thereby enabling a risk-sharing arrangement between the service provider and the vendor.
