Abstract
A method for an operator to deploy tariff and/or billing configurations represented by computer program code, the deployment being effected by operation of a user interface, the method including the steps of the operator identifying at least one configuration to be deployed, selecting the at least one configuration by use of the user interface, and associating the at least one configuration with at least one environment in which the computer program code representing the configuration must be executed to effect the configuration.
Claims22
A method for an operator to deploy a tariff and/or billing configuration for a tarrif and/or billing plan represented by computer program code, the deployment being effected by operation of a user interface, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one configuration to be deployed;
- selecting the at least one configuration by use of the user interface;
- and
- associating the at least one configuration with at least one environment in which the computer program code representing the configuration must be executed to effect the configuration.
A system for deploying a tariff and/or billing configuration for a tariff and/or billing plan represented by computer program code, the system comprising:
- a computer generated graphical user interface comprising a display upon which configurations and environments are represented as graphical objects;
- a selection means enabling an operator to propose a deployment by selecting one or more configurations and associating same with one or more environments;
- and
- a means to commit the proposed deployment and thereby incorporate the computer program code representing the one or more configurations into the one or more environments for subsequent execution.
