Abstract:
A method and system for quoting, pricing, configuring, and ordering telecommunications services is disclosed. The method includes the steps of allowing a purchaser of services to custom-configure the services through an interface with several relevant service characteristics and options. A purchaser may then input service configurations into a database-driven pricing configurator that can instantly generate an indicative pricing quote for the configured services. A purchaser also has the option of submitting the quote to a service order form generator, which interfaces with a service provider's provisioning system, thereby allowing a purchaser to quote, price, and order telecommunications services in a fast, easy, and flexible manner.
