Abstract
A system for provisioning services may include a device that may receive a service order that identifies a service to be provisioned. The device may obtain, using the service order, a specification for the service. The device may further identify, based on the specification, a service processing system to invoke for provisioning the service, and invoke the service processing system by sending the service order and the specification to the identified service processing system.

21. A system (100) comprising:
-
a service activator (230) to; receive a service order that identifies a service to be provisioned, obtain, using the service order, a specification for the service, identify, based on the specification, a service processing system (240) to invoke for provisioning the service, and send the service order and the specification to the identified service processing system; the service processing system (240) to; receive the service order and the specification from the service activator, collect, in response to receiving the service order and the specification, information from one or more external sources, and forward information for provisioning the service to an adapter (250), the information being based on the collected information and the service order; and the adapter (250) to; receive the information for provisioning the service from the service processing system, convert the received information to an appropriate format, and transfer the converted information to one or more of a provisioning gateway 260 or one or more service enablers (270) for provisioning the service. - View Dependent Claims (22)
