Abstract
A computer application having a common front-end interface and a back-end interface is used to activate and provision communication services provided by multiple carriers. The common front-end interface communicates with at least a database. The back-end interface is configured to communicate with every provisioning system for every carrier that a reseller of communication services has arrangements with. The back-end interface also performs the necessary translations and data conversions that are needed to utilize information from the front-end interface to activate and provision features for communication services on a particular carrier's provisioning system.
