Network inventory systems enable Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to create and maintain a digital representation of their physical and virtual networks, including the telecom services provisioned on the network. This network representation is used by network designers to create and maintain a representation of the network, the services delivered on it, and the customers who use those services. The network cannot be designed correctly if the network inventory is incomplete or inaccurate, and a network inventory system helps ensure the accurate design and management of the network. Network inventory systems integrate with other critical systems, like customer care and service assurance, to reference or update the network inventory data.
