MiiGS - Metex Integrated Interconnect Gateway Suite
The MiiGS suite offer the benefits of an integrated gateway solution, including a shared architecture and transport mechanism that allows for an extremely reliable interchange of data between carriers and reduces time between request and reply through an end-to-end automated process. Every component may be used independently and can be integrated within a range of environments.

MORS - Metex Order Registration System (Data Loader)
MORS is a data loading tool that automates the transfer of data from any Customer Care/Front-end Data Entry application into MetaSolv's TBS system. This software replaces the manual re-keying of customer and order information, thus reducing the cost and elapsed time to complete this work and speeding up the provisioning process.

ACME - Account Code Maintenance Environment
ACME allows you to manage and manipulate the long distance account codes of your customers. It interfaces with MetaSolv's TBS Oracle database via a Web browser for fast, accurate input to your main database.

MiiGs Components

PIC/CARE AC/AP
The Metex Primary Inter-Exchange Carrier/Customer Account Record Exchange (PIC/CARE) solution or module can be configured for deployment in a range of environments, and Access Carrier (AC) and Access Provider (AP) are available separately. PIC/CARE transactions are between Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and Inter-Exchange Carriers (IXCs) and contain PIC subscriptions, account information queries, notifications and confirmations. They allow full transmission management to and from other local providers.

411 (BLIF) Gateway Application
The 411 Gateway Application permits the exchange of information between LECs, including initial file load, regular updates, and Basic Listing Interchange File (BLIF) acknowledgments. It can be implemented alone or as part of the MiiGs solution.

LNP (Local Number Portability)
The LNP product provides the end-customer with the ability to change local service provider, location and telephone services while maintaining the same telephone number, as mandated by regulations in both the United States and Canada. LNP is available alone or as part of the MiiGs solution.

LSR (Local Service Request)
The LSR product allows LECs to place local service requests with each other in order to transfer end-customer service, port telephone numbers, and lease local loop facilities from one carrier to another. A standard data interchange format has been defined for the electronic exchange of this information. LSR can be easily integrated with your existing systems, alone or as part of the MiiGs solution.

911 Gateway Application
Metex's 911 Gateway Application is designed to transfer data between the system of record and the 911 database, and will provide the requisite synchronization between the systems. Alone or as part of the MiiGs solution, Metex can help Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) ensure the transport of end-customer-dialed 911 calls to the appropriate 911 call answer centre or Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).

Available versions: Middleware Connections (ie: Vitria), Oracle, MetaSolv TBS, CORBA API
NOTE: Metex MiiGS is TBS 5.x compatible.

MORS - Metex Order Registration System (Data Loader)
MORS can automatically create Product Service Requests (PSR) in the TBS database and also assign that PSR to a specified provisioning plan. In order to allow for effective tracking, MORS retains log files/reports to confirm the activity and allow for error resolution work.

Due Date Scheduling Tool
This is a monitoring tool that enables efficient scheduling of phone line implementation due dates. Developed as an add-on to MetaSolv's TBS, the Due Date Scheduling Tool is a Web-enabled solution that allows users to perform effective work load management of phone line provisioning. The goal is to view the TBS Due Date Scheduling Tool on the user's Intranet and use the color-coded aid to select the best phone line installation due date to provide to the customer.

Task Progress Summary Viewer
This management tool tracks task progress through status of provisioning orders. Developed as an add-on to MetaSolv's TBS, the Task Progress Summary Viewer is a Web-enabled tool to assist management in monitoring the internal progress of order activity across all work queues in order to be able to identify bottlenecks in the provisioning process. The tool provides a summary of the number of orders in various states (pending, ready, etc.) in selected tasks and cumulates across all work queues in the provisioning process to give a total view of the operation.

ACME - Account Code Maintenance Environment

ACME is an application that helps companies gain and retain a competitive edge in their marketplace by letting them manage and manipulate Long Distance Account Codes electronically for faster and more accurate results. Long Distance Account Codes are used to control and identify who is using long distance service from the telephone company's network. The ACME application uses the Intra-net and the Metasolv TBS database with automated processes to interface with the TBS as required.

Three types of users can benefit from using the ACME application:

  • Users with limited updating and query capabilities of account codes
  • Superusers who have more flexibility when creating account codes
  • Administrators who would be performing maintenance operations, creation and updating of account codes and all other functions

The application performs the following functions:

  1. It allows the user to enter a Customer Account number and perform a search to see if the Customer Account exists in the database
  2. It retrieves data from the Metasolv TBS databases related to the Customer Account number entered and displays it along with Account Code details
  3. It allows you create a new Custom, Standard, or Non-verified Index for a Customer Account
  4. It allows you to delete and undelete an Index related to the Customer Account number
  5. It allows you to add a new Account Code to the Index
  6. It allows you to modify or delete an existing Account Code of an Index
  7. It allows you to design Standard Indexes, which may be used when creating a Customer Account Index
  8. It allows you to add or delete Secure Accounts
  9. It allows you to create, activate/deactivate, or delete user profiles. These profiles will be used to log into the system

In the 1990s, Metex developed applications under contract to corporations and government clients but also developed applications for specific vertical markets such as telecommunications and agriculture marketing boards. Although Metex no longer develops new applications, we continues to support and maintain applications that have been sold in the previous 10 years.

 

 

In 1999, the Metex management team created a new division that would exclusively focus on the modernization of client server applications to Java or .NET. The planned approach for this new division would be different than what many other competitor companies were doing. The Metex approach would use customized in-house automated tools that would dramatically improve productivity, but never compromise code quality.
