Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for administering the implementation of product change notices (PCN). A PCN database application server computer is utilized to provide a method for implementing a change to telecommunications products. The method includes the steps of receiving a PCN that identifies the change, determining whether the PCN satisfies the implementation requirements, and if the PCN does satisfy these requirements, implementing the change. Once the PCN is received, it is monitored for conformance to an implementation schedule and updated for progress until completion. Updates may be received from remote inventory systems or suppliers. Upon completion or rejection of the PCN, the PCN is closed.
