Introduction
2.1
What is BroadWorks?
BroadWorks is an enhanced services delivery system that allows service providers to offer web-enabled communications applications over packet networks. The BroadWorks product family provides support for call routing and translations, media-oriented applications such as Three-Way Conferencing, Voice Messaging, Auto-Attendant and other interactive voice response (IVR) applications, as well as for personal calling functions such as Selective Call Forwarding and Notification, Call Transfer, and integration with Microsoft Outlook for contact retrieval and dialing. Next-generation networks consist of network elements that provide packet conversion, call control, and applications. BroadWorks is an application focused on local and edge services for businesses. Designed for next-generation networks, BroadWorks is developed on a standards-based, modular architecture utilizing common protocols, open interfaces, and scalable, industry-standard hardware. This open environment enables service providers and third-party service developers to build new applications to be delivered over the broadband infrastructure. Despite the clear efficiency and benefits of next-generation networks, the current telecommunications market is plagued by staggering customer churn due to the arduous process and expense of serving and servicing customers. There is little competitive differentiation in service offerings, and service providers are forced to compete on price. However, the large soft costs associated with provisioning and servicing new customers reduces the profit and desire to meet the needs of any size company. BroadWorks provides a high servicing component between the service provider and the customer, with user control and configuration via a standard web portal. By allowing users to augment their basic phone functionality via a web portal, existing services such as conference calling and call forwarding become easier to use, and new services become easier to deploy. For example, if a BroadWorks user wants to selectively forward calls from an office phone to a cell phone, it can be done with a few clicks on a web page or wireless PDA. Previously, with Centrex-like services, such a service would require a highly complex and time-consuming procedure for both the user and the service provider. Web access provides integrated service management and lets end users configure and manage their own services via a familiar interface, significantly lowering the cost of customer service and operations. BroadWorks can be configured individually by a user and a phone line, or by a group manager to inter-work as a key system or PBX. BroadWorks is servers and services. BroadWorks provides a complete solution via its three server components. The BroadWorks Application Server provides call processing, personal and group services, and service management. The BroadWorks Media Server provides specialized media resources, interactive voice response, and conferencing capabilities. The BroadWorks Network Server provides policy-based call routing and translations. Together, these components provide personal, group, and network services including Centrex-equivalent functions, Voice Messaging, web call management, as well as Hunt Groups, Auto Attendant functions, call routing and translations, and calling restrictions.
2.2
What is CommPilot?
CommPilot refers to the web interface of BroadWorks. CommPilot Personal grants easy access to service configuration and management to users. Activating and customizing services such as call forwarding and call notification is simple and intuitive. CommPilot Call Manager allows users to control calls (with call functions such as hold, transfer, and conference), via a familiar web page, rather than complex star codes and flash-hooks. For those users comfortable with star codes and flash-hooks, however, some functions (such as Automatic Recall, Call Park, Call Waiting, and so on) are available.
Services
The group (company) administrator sets up individual users (group members). The user manages a web interface, referred to as the CommPilot Personal portal. The portal allows activation, deactivation, and customization of his/her own services; including modifications to speed dial numbers, changes to passwords, and updates to the profile. The services available to users are dependent upon the services purchased by the company or organization.
