	Shields the routing network from the difficulties and peculiarities of any protocol or format, service orders may be provided on an OSS level.
	Shields the North-bound order oriented system from the access protocols and specifics of routing network provisioning.
	Mediates between synchronous and asynchronously operating provisioning if necessary.
	Configurable Error Toleration in case of manual intervention directly on a Network Element.
	Support of multiple orders within one single provisioning transaction in case the according Network Element Interface needs such procedure.
