The inSwitch Switch Code Maintenance System (SCMS) module provides Network executives a solution for automating switch translations. Supporting both TDM and VoIP switch technologies, SCMS automates repetitive and labor intensive tasks performed by highly skilled technicians.

Business Environment

Service Provider’s local service revenue has been affected by product bundling, wireless substitution and competitive VoIP offerings. With top line growth slowing, senior executives demand solutions that reduce cost and improve quality of service. Numerous companies have successfully implemented scalable OSS products that deliver increased profitability with 100% ROI in under six months.

Automated Workflow

SCMS includes a transaction processing module, which is used to initiate new, change, rehome and disconnect NPA/NXX code projects.  SCMS supports transactions from the LERG™ or other systems that provide a standardized data feed.  The key feature of this module is the ability to process the raw transaction information into the inSwitch database and initiate automated translations.

Switch Translation Component

Translations are created and applied either directly to the switch or through an OSS.  A reconciliation process is performed to ensure the SCMS system is being synchronized with the latest routing information concerning code transactions.  All activity is captured into logs and is available for review through the web interface. 

Benefit

By automating the manual and repetitive tasks of creating and modifying code translations, service providers significantly reduce costs and improve accuracy.  The flexibility gained by operational efficiencies frees up knowledgeable technicians who can be assigned to more productive assignments such an NGN migrations.

Honōvi’s SCMS module significantly reduces the time, increases the accuracy, standardizes the translations and radically reduces the cost of maintaining network translations.  The result is a verifiable increase in the effectiveness of organizations responsible for keeping switch translations current.
