How does Cortex work?
Details of how the Cortex provisioning system works are
contained in this section. There is also more information on how
multiple Active Directory forests can be managed
with a single Cortex instance.
Flexibility
The Cortex architecture is extremely flexible, allow customisation of service configuration
and service plans for individual resellers and customers while ensuring the system
operator retains control
Provision Existing Services
We realise that every service provider needs the capability to offer different services
to their customers. Cortex can be utilised as a platform for not only automating
existing provisioning processes but also as a ready means of delegating administration
of services to customers through an easy to use interface. The
Service Development Toolkit can be used
to add robust support for new services quickly with minimal application code.
Integration Capability
The Cortex API is XML based and is platform independent. The API can be used to
automate the addition of customers, users and service plans to a Cortex instance.
