Corp., (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : DSET) the industry's premier source of electronic gateways and IP provisioning solutions for global, multi-vendor networks, announced today the release of IPSource 2.2, the latest version of its innovative and high performance IP provisioning platform that enables service providers to deliver new services to customers quickly, reliably and at dramatically lower cost. IPSource 2.2, formerly named UPX UPX Ultimate Packer for eXecutables UPX Ulead Photo Express (Universal Provisioning eXchange), was recently renamed to better define the platform's advanced capabilities. DSET will be demonstrating this highly scalable, carrier-class next generation provisioning platform at SUPERCOMM in Booth #21346.

This new version lets service providers generate increased revenue by defining services tailored to meet their customers' specific requirements. Service providers can customize the pre-defined IP service modules on the IPSource platform to create "branded" service offerings with features they choose to include. For example, quality of service (QoS) capabilities can be optionally integrated into offerings based on the way service providers choose to define their IP VPN services. The solution offers new capabilities for rapidly configuring and managing network devices, including creation of configuration templates that can be applied across the entire network. With IPSource, users also can easily and quickly detect any changes in the network so they can take corrective action A corrective action is a change implemented to address a weakness identified in a management system. Normally corrective actions are instigated in response to a customer complaint, abnormal levels if internal nonconformity, nonconformities identified during an internal audit or , assuring quality of service and minimizing potential service disruption disruption /dis·rup·tion/ (dis-rup´shun) a morphologic defect resulting from the extrinsic breakdown of, or interference with, a developmental process. . Service providers can now easily offer end-to-end automation of the service provisioning process by using IPSource's new module for service-request management that easily integrates with their front-end order-management/sales-management systems. This enables service providers to better manage service/order requests, assign resources and activate devices on the network in a totally flow-through and error-free manner. IPSource supports multi-vendor networks, enabling providers to meet customers' service requirements without the constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference.

The end-to-end provisioning and activation capabilities offered by IPSource also provides dramatic savings in overhead costs overhead costs see fixed costs. since providers can introduce and maintain services with a reduced IT staff, with minimal training required. Additional enhancements in IPSource 2.2 include improved workflow capabilities and easy to use web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse.
