“In 2005 our broadband customer base increased by 300 percent – from 60,000 to 242,000 says Fadhel Kraiem CIO – Maroc Telecom. To respond to this fast growth, we decided to re-organise the fulfilment process and re-new our IT systems. We chose Comptel® Fulfilment solution because it let us pick just the right functionality for our requirements”.

The solution enables Maroc Telecom to:
* Define and change the provisioning process
* Find the right DSLAM site and available port and assigning it to the user
* Auto-configure the live DSLAMs in the network
* Issue and track work order tickets for manual installation and engineering work.
