Abstract

An administration system for a public switched telephone network (PSTN) includes a service order processing system receiving a service request from a customer requesting service for a customer location, and determining whether the service request is provisionable responsive to the service request and predetermined criteria. When the service order processing system determines that the service request is provisionable, automatically provisioning customer facilities including at least one of a domain name, a user name, a customer network address, and an electronic mail address, to execute the service request based upon information stored by the service order processing system. The information includes customer identification data and customer facility data, and the information is maintained by the service order processing system without substantially altering the customer facility data.
