Complementary to Billing Mediation functions, comprehensive mediation platforms also provide functionality
dedicated to Service Provisioning (the two areas frequently intermix as services configured and used by the end
customer result in usage data records generation in the network).
Mediating between the systems is not the only job that Mediation Platform can do. Actually this can be used as a
provisioning agent. The basic provisioning commands can be configured within the mediation system and whenever
we get a request for the system which does the provisioning, the request can be converted into a file , in which
mediation can append the service provisioning commands and send it to HLR for activating any request. This of
course , load dependent but can come very handy when there is a crisis in the other system.
