Speed up and automate service configuration and activation using Inceptum’s Metaswitch API
Inceptum’s Metaswitch API enables telecom service providers to simplify and speed up their voice service configuration and activation processes by providing a simple means of automatization.
Benefits of automated provisioning
1. Automatization of voice service configuration
Inceptum’s Metaswitch API can speed up and enable full automatization of voice services on a Metaswitch platform. This can enable a telecom service provider to, for example, enable activation of services through a third-party BPM or CRM system. To go even further, the Metaswitch API can enable integration with
2. Simplification and security
Another benefit of using Inceptum’s API is the security it provides by creating another layer between the Metaswitch platform and external BSS / OSS / NMS systems.

Moving forward to full service configuration and activation automation
Telecom service providers usually have distributed and unconnected silo systems which are often legacy platforms with different integration points, often using undocumented API interfaces. On top of that, telecom service providers usually have a wide variety of vendors and versions of end-user CPE equipment which all have different integration methods and implemented standards. Implementing a new platform or devices in such an environment can get very complicated.
Because of all these potential pitfalls full service activation automation is a challenging task. By using Inceptum Metaswitch proxy API solution, we can activate different services such as data, Internet, voice, and other simple or more complex services while reducing operational overhead, time to service activation and the number of incidents. Integration with self-service portals or mobile applications can enable customers to activate or change different options without a need to call customer support or sales.
