Common use of Electronic Interface for Pre-Ordering, Ordering, and Provisioning Clause in Contracts

Electronic Interface for Pre-Ordering, Ordering, and Provisioning. Ameritech will provide an electronic interface for the transfer and receipt of data necessary to perform each of the pre-ordering, ordering, and provisioning functions (e.g., order entry, telephone number selection, and due date selection) associated with Resale Services. The interface will be administered through a gateway that will serve as a single point of contact for the transmission of such data. The interface will be consistent with the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), Telecommunications Industry Forum (TCIF), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Customer Service Guideline, issue 5, and provide the functionality described in Schedule 10.13.2 and Ameritech's Service Order Interface Document, version 2.00. The electronic interface to be provided by Ameritech will provide system to system communications on a real-time basis (response in seconds), with built-in error recovery and built in operations, administration and maintenance functionality, at a ninety-five percent (95%) network reliability level. However, as an industry standard interface is developed by the appropriate industry forum, and generally accepted for implementation by the industry, Ameritech shall implement such interface.
