In a system for managing data, voice, application and video networks and associated systems and services that comprise multiple, interconnected network technologies, a management system (130, 150, 160) suited for a particular networking technology manages each separate domain (110). Multiple managemnt systems thus mana ge multiple domains with respect to faults, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management. The management systems that manage the individual networking technology domains are then managed by a higher-level system, called an i nter-domain management system (140), which performs cross-domain management. The individual management systems of the invention collect data from their respective domains and provide i t to an intra-domain data collection function (134, 154, 164). This data is then utilized by an inter-domain data correlation function (142) to determine what instruction should be sent from an intra-domain instruction function (132, 152, 162) to each management system for implementation in its respective technology domains.
