| 20090287533 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING AN INVENTORY OF TELEPHONE NUMBERS - A system and method in accordance with exemplary embodiments may include storing telephone number inventory data using a database associated with a network, receiving, from a user system, a request for telephone number forecast data, forecasting future telephone number usage based on at least a history of telephone number inventory data, and providing, to the user system, telephone number forecast data based on at least the forecast of future telephone number usage. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110081012 | MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL TELEPHONE AND ADDRESS SYSTEM (NTAS) DATA - A method includes receiving Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG) telephone number (TN) data; comparing the LERG TN data with telephone service provider (TSP) TN data; determining whether one or more differences exist between the LERG TN data and the TSP TN data based on the comparing; generating one or more executable statements for updating the one or more differences that exist based on the comparing; and executing the one or more executable statements to match the TSP TN data with the LERG TN data. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110082831 | CENTRAL DATA STORE PROCESS CONFIGURATION - Exemplary information systems and methods for storing information in a central data store are disclosed. An exemplary method may include providing a central data store including data for use in a plurality of environments, with the central data store selectively transmitting a portion of the data to a synchronized application associated with at least one of the environments. The method further includes establishing configurable instructions included in the central data store defining at least one synchronization parameter associated with the synchronized application, and modifying at least one of the synchronization parameters via the central data store according to a communication received from the synchronized application. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110091203 | SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF DETECTING A NON-FUNCTIONAL BATTERY BACK-UP UNIT (BBU) OF AN OPTICAL NETWORK TERMINAL - A system for and method of for detecting a non-functional battery back-up unit (BBU) of an optical network terminal is presented. The system and method may include receiving power outage data associated with a plurality of customer sites, receiving, from each of the plurality of customer sites, discharge time data associated with a battery via a network, calculating a mean discharge time based on the discharge time data, comparing the discharge time data associated with each battery to the mean discharge time, determining that each battery that is associated with discharge time data that indicates a discharge time value that is less than the mean discharge time is faulty, and outputting a data signal that indicates that a battery is faulty. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110095903 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UTILITY USAGE MONITORING - An approach is provided for monitoring utility usage and generating notifications. A platform collects utility data from a utility meter of a subscriber and determines whether the utility data satisfies a usage threshold. The platform generates a notification based on the determination and presents the notification. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110252275 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PARTITIONING DATA FILES FOR EFFICIENT PROCESSING - An approach is provided for fast processing of data files. A plurality of records are received from a source system. The records are validated against a predetermined data source. An error notification is generated based on the validation. The validated records are partitioned based on a unique parameter. The partitioned records are transformed according to a format specified by a target system. The transformed records are selectively corrected. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110255679 | TELEPHONE NUMBER USE OPTIMIZATION FOR BLOCKS OF TELEPHONE NUMBERS - A method may include determining a count of excess telephone numbers (TNs) for removal from a block of TNs associated with a customer. The method may further include determining an order of priority for removing the excess TNs from the block of TNs and marking the excess TNs for removal from the block of TNs in the determined order of priority. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110276821 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MIGRATING DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES - An approach is provided for migrating data. Data is received from a plurality of source systems. The received data is processed for conversion to a target system. A failure condition associated with the processing is detected. An action is selectively initiated from a point of failure corresponding to the detected failure condition. The action includes either retrying the processing, aborting the processing, initiating simulation of the process, forcing completion of the processing, or a combination thereof. | 11-10-2011 |
