Abstract

An analyzing a telecommunications network that receives environmental data, vendor data, and customer data related to a telecommunications transaction. A telecommunications transaction identifier is generated for each telecommunications transaction to determine attributes associated with each telecommunications transaction. The telecommunications transaction identifier and the attributes associated with the identified telecommunications transaction are mapped to a customer-specific parameter. The telecommunications network determines whether the transaction conforms to the parameters.

Claims

1. A method for analyzing a telecommunications network comprising the steps of:

receiving environmental data, vendor data, and customer data related to a telecommunications transaction;

generate a telecommunications transaction identifier for each telecommunications transaction;

determine attributes associated with each telecommunications transaction;

map the telecommunications transaction identifier and the attributes associated with the identified telecommunications transaction to a customer-specific parameter; and

determine whether the telecommunications transaction conforms to the parameters.

2. The method for analyzing a telecommunications network of claim 1, wherein environmental data includes vendor office locations, customer locations, service types and the like.

3. The method for analyzing a telecommunications network of claim 1, further comprising the step of obtaining required data entities for the vendor and generating the transaction type identifier as a function of the required data entities.

4. The method for analyzing a telecommunications network of claim 3, further comprising the steps of:

determining the customer specific parameter from the required data entities;

creating a contract table for a transaction; and

comparing the telecommunications transaction identifier and the associated attributes to the parameters in the contract table to determine whether the telecommunications transaction conforms to the parameters.

5. The method of analyzing a telecommunication network of claim 1, wherein the telecommunication transaction identifier identifies the type of telecommunications transaction identified.

6. The method of analyzing a telecommunication network of claim 4, further comprising the steps of:

generating a work order when the telecommunications transaction does not conform to the parameters and transmitting the work order to a vendor associated with the telecommunications transaction.

7. A system for analyzing a telecommunications network comprising:

a server; and

a database associated with the server, the server receiving environmental data, vendor data and customer data related to a telecommunications transaction and generating a telecommunications transaction identifier for each telecommunications transaction and attributes associated with each telecommunications transaction, determining required data entities for a respective vendor from the vendor data, and comparing the telecommunications transaction identifier and associated attributes with the required data entities and determining whether a transaction conforms to the parameters.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the server transmits a report to a remote computer if the telecommunications transaction type does not conform to the parameters.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of receiving environmental data and customer data and validating the visual representation of the network a function of the environmental and customer data.

9. A method for generating a graphic representation of a network system in a telecommunications network comprising the steps of:

receiving environmental data, vendor data, and customer data related to a telecommunications transaction;

determining attributes associated with each telecommunications transaction; and

generating a graphic representation of a customer telecommunications infrastructure as a function of the vendor data.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein said vendor data is received electronically.
