A Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) administration system includes an
Internet-based
repair (eRepair) subsystem that is configured to accept customer trouble tickets
related to the PSTN via the Internet and to provide customer trouble ticket status
information to customers via the Internet. The administration system also includes
a Work Force and Administration-Control (WFA/C) subsystem that is configured to
manage repair services that are performed on the PSTN in response to the customer
trouble tickets. A repair status update system, method and/or computer program
product is configured to automatically push a status change message from the WFA/C
subsystem to the eRepair subsystem upon occurrence of a change in a status of a
customer trouble ticket in the WFA/C subsystem as a result of repair services that
are performed on the PSTN. The customer trouble ticket status information is updated
in response to receipt of the status change message.
