[edit] Network provisioning in Telecommunication industry

The services which are assigned to the customer in the CRM should be also provisioned on the network element who is enabling the service, which will allow the customer to actually use the service. It is not necessary one service configured in the CRM to correspond to one service on the network elements. Some services can be enabled by more than one network element, by example the MMS service. During the provisioning, the service mediation device will translate the service and the corresponding parameters of the service to one or more services/parameters on the network elements involved.
The algorithm used to convert the system service into network services is called provisioning logic.
