Common use of Electronic Interface Clause in Contracts

Electronic Interface. The Parties shall work cooperatively in the implementation of electronic gateway access to GTE operational support systems functions in the long- term in accordance with established industry standards. 3.1 EZ-TEL shall have immediate access to the following OSS electronic interfaces that will provide functionality to enable EZ-TEL to service customers in an equal and non-discriminatory manner: 3.1.1 Pre-Order functions, e.g., TN Assignment, DD Reservation, Address Validation, Product Availability, that are available on a dial-up or dedicated basis using the Secure Integrated Gateway System (SIGS). 3.1.2 Order functions that are available on a dial-up or dedicated basis using CONNECT: Mail file transfer. 3.1.3 Initial trouble reports via SIGS. 3.1.4 Electronic transfer of the EZ-TEL xxxx in electronic data 811 format. 3.2 EZ-TEL may migrate to fully interactive system to system interconnectivity. GTE, with input from EZ-TEL and other carriers, shall provide general interface specifications for electronic access to this functionality. These specifications will be provided to enable EZ-TEL to design system interface capabilities. Development will be in accordance with applicable national standards committee guidelines. Such interfaces will be available as expeditiously as possible. 3.3 All costs and expenses for any new or modified electronic interfaces exclusively to meet EZ-TEL requirements that GTE determines are Currently Available and GTE agrees to develop will be paid by EZ-TEL. 3.4 EZ-TEL shall be responsible for modifying and connecting any of its pre- ordering and ordering systems with GTE provided interfaces as described in this Appendix.
