Assign/Procure Resources applications determine facility and equipment availability.
The Assign/Procure Resources application determines facility and equipment availability. It selects/assigns appropriate network facility route(s) and configures facility equipment per engineering rules as well as obtains new assets from network plan and build (capacity management) if required.
As part of considering network alternatives and associated costs, technology and service options might also be presented back to the customer if the assignment impacts customer cost and/or time to procure.
This application does not manage the capacity at the resource level.
