Lifecycle management and provisioning system for unified communications

摘要

A provisioning system automatically detects a new or updated object (e.g., a user object or a device object) in a data store associated with a unified communication (UC) system; reconciles attributes of the new or updated object; generates a change job based on a rule set; and causes a record corresponding to the new or updated object to be updated in the data store (or another data store in the UC system) based on the change job. Automatic detection of the new or updated object may involve importing data records from the data store and comparing them with corresponding records in a cached database. Reconciling the attributes may involve generating a template based on the rule set and comparing the template with the attributes. The provisioning system can detect a deviation between the template and the attributes and tailor the change job to resolve the deviation.
