4390.0. "Toolkit Advice" by KCBBQ::TERRY (TERRY_B) Thu Jan 14 1993 16:52

    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	I'm Brian Terry in the Kansas City Office. I have Sprint as a 
    	customer. They have spent years bouncing around several "grand
    	schemes" as to how they are going to manage elements and systems 
    	in their long distance network. They have been interested in MCC
    	and it's capabilities but mainly as a curiousity. However, now
    	they are interested in modeling their network, and how we could 
    	help. Specifically, they have modelled elements with a product 
    	called Application Developers Workbench (ADW). From what I can
    	gather, they have been building E-R diagrams with this tool. 
    	Assuming that they get the PolyCenter (MCC) toolkit, is there 
    	a way they could import these models. I realize that there may 
    	be some data specification descrepencies, but this would give 
    	them a start. Also, it seems that they might be on the right 
    	track with this whole exercise, and it would be great if we 
    	could crank some joint development or other consulting with 
    	them. 
    
    	My apologies if I'm way off base, but any help would be
    	appreciated,
    
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Brian Terry

Not at the present time. >Also, it seems that they might be on the right track with this whole exercise, and it would be great if we could crank some joint development or other consulting with them. Sounds interesting. We have some longgggggg range ideas (notice that I did not say plans) about doing some of this kind of work. Some work along these lines is being considered by NSM A/D. Send me some mail (MOLAR::PLOUFFE) or give me a call at DTN 381-2342 if you want to pursue these ideas. I can, at least, bring you up-to-date with some internal discussions that have been going on. - Jerry
