Systems, Methods, and Computer Readable Storage Devices for Providing Third Party Application Service Providers With Access to Subscriber Information

摘要

A service-related repository provides access to subscriber information to third party application service providers without providing the third party application service providers with access to a main network repository. The service-related repository stores subscriber information in a standardized format and in a format tailored for each third party application service provider. The subscriber information stored within the service-related repository mirrors network subscriber information stored within the main network repository. The main network repository is distinct from a secondary repository that includes the service-related repository. The secondary repository also includes a subscriber-related repository for storing the subscriber information in a standardized format
