Project Meetings |
| March 20, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T presented this CR and stated that this CR was in denied status. Liz Balvin/WorldCom asked AT&T if this was an old CR. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T stated that the previous CR had been canceled a year and a half ago and that this CR is a new request. Liz Balvin/WorldCom stated that she remembered discussing the old CR and that CORBA would be more user friendly. Donna Osborne-Miller/AT&T asked Qwest to elaborate on the denial response. Lynn Notarianni/Qwest stated that denial is due to the expense of implementation and ongoing expense due to a third pre-order interface. Lynn stated that the benefits do not justify the extreme expense of maintaining three interfaces. Lynn stated that from a Qwest perspective, pre-order is already defined in EDI and it works in EDI. Lynn stated that there were some compares done of response time in EDI and GUI and stated that no significant difference was found. Lynn stated that Qwest understands that other ILECs have gone with CORBA but that economically we couldn’t see moving forward with CORBA. Lynn stated that what Qwest has experienced, several years ago, was that when Qwest was the first to go with a real-time system for pre-order transactions. Lynn stated that Qwest is not comfortable enough yet that CORBA is an industry movement, to justify the cost.

Confirmed Impacted Interface: IMA EDI Confirmed Products: N/A Discussion: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description. Jan Martin/Qwest stated that pre-order transactions are not product specific and would not look at products. AT&T agreed and advised to change Impacted Products to N/A. There were no other questions or comments. Action Plan: This CR will be presented by AT&T at the March 20th CMP Meeting and Qwest will be providing the CR response.

CenturyLink Response |
| March 13, 2003 Donna Osborne-Miller AT&T CC: Connie Winston Sue Stott Beth Foster Kit Thomte This letter is in response to CLEC Change Request number SCR022703-05, dated 02/27/03, titled: PreOrder CORBA. CR Description: QWEST does not support CORBA for PreOrder transactions today. AT&T would like QWEST to consider developing PreOrder CORBA capabilities. We believe higher performance measures can be reached. Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable): To be compatible with Release 14.0. History: A clarification meeting was held on Wednesday March 12, 2003 with AT&T and Qwest representation. Qwest Response: Qwest has completed an analysis for CR SCR022703-05, PreOrder CORBA., and has determined that this change does not provide a reasonable demonstrable business benefit in relationship to the associated costs. This request would require Qwest to develop an additional interface to IMA requiring Qwest to maintain 3 separate & multiple versions of IMA interfaces (GUI, EDI, and CORBA). Through Qwest’s analysis it was determined that the estimate for the initial implementation of this change would be $1.5 million and would also require significant maintenance costs and additional resources which Qwest estimates would be around $500K per release. Qwest believes that a move towards CORBA for PreOrder would not result in a reasonable business benefit to warrant the expense of this change. In light of the information currently available to CLECs for PreOrder functionality, the cost prohibitive requirement for implementing this request, and no perceivable reasonable demonstrable business benefit for the associated costs, Qwest is denying your request for SCR022703-05, PreOrder CORBA. Sincerely, Qwest
