forward the at least one update;

an operational data store to:

receive the at least one update from the network interface,

validate the at least one update,

process the validated at least one update,

store the processed at least one update, and

forward the processed at least one update to a redirect server; and

a process management system to:

connect:

the network interface,

the voice portal,

the web center unit,

the IPCOM,

the backbone network service unit, and

the operational data store.

32 . The system of claim 31 , where, the redirect server is to:

receive the processed at least one update from the operational data store,

store the processed at least one update, and

modify, in real time, a manner in which calls, made by the user, are processed, over the IP network, based on the at least one update stored at the redirect server.

33 . The system of claim 31 , where the service attribute relates to one of enterprise configuration, network configuration, or subscriber configuration.

34 . The system of 31 , where the service attribute relates to one of session initiation protocol (SIP) domain management or remote access configuration.

35 . The system of claim 31 , where the service attribute relates to subscriber account management.

36 . The system of claim 31 , further comprising:

a data warehouse to store service order, account, usage, and performance data associated with the user.

37 . The system of claim 31 , where the operational data store stores authentication and authorization data associated with the user.

38 . A method comprising:

determining a level of authorization associated with a user accessing a user account of an Internet Protocol (IP) communications network;

transmitting, to the user and based on the determined level of authorization, a first web-based interface that includes a plurality of links,

the plurality of links corresponding to categories of service attributes associated with the user account of the IP communications network,

the plurality of links being presented based on the determined level of authorization;

receiving, from the user, a selection of a link, of the plurality of links,

the link corresponding to a particular category of service attributes;

transmitting, to the user and based on receiving the selection of the link, a second web-based interface,

the second web-based interface being different than the first web-based interface;

the second web-based interface including options for modifying one or more service attributes associated with the particular category of service attributes;

receiving, from the user, at least one modification to a service attribute, of the one or more service attributes, associated with the particular category of service attributes;

modifying a first record in a database based on the received at least one modification;

transmitting the at least one modification from the database to a redirect server associated with the IP communications network;

updating a second record, corresponding to the first record, in the redirect server based on the at least one modification,

the updated second record being available in real time; and

modifying, in real time, a manner in which calls, made by the user, are processed, by the redirect server, over the IP communications network, based on updated information stored in the second record.

39 . The method of claim 38 , where the service attribute includes an attribute related to one of follow me, call blocking, call forwarding, voice mail, conference calling, single line extension, call screening, dial-plan restrictions, dynamic registration, secondary directory number, or call transfer processing.

40 . The method of claim 38 , where the database includes an operational data store.

41 . The method of claim 38 , where the service attribute relates to one of enterprise configuration, network configuration, or subscriber configuration.

42 . The method of claim 38 , where the service attribute includes an attribute related to one of prefix plan management, location management, call blocking management, feature blocking management, gateway management, or dial plan management.

43 . The method of claim 38 , where the service attribute relates to one of session initiation protocol (SIP) domain management or remote access configuration.

44 . The method of claim 38 , where the service attribute includes a call routing option and a call routing address, and

where the second web-based interface provides a first user interface control that allows the user to select the call routing option and a second user interface control that allows the user to enter the call routing address.

45 . The method of claim 38 , where the service attribute includes a block list, and

where the second web-based interface provides a user interface tool that allows the user to enter one or more blocked numbers.

46 . A system comprising:

one or more processors to:

determine a level of authorization associated with a user accessing a user account of an Internet Protocol (IP) communications network;

provide, based on the determined level of authorization, a first web-based interface to the user, the first web-based interface including a plurality of links,

the plurality of links corresponding to categories of service attributes associated with the user account of the IP communications network,

the plurality of links being presented based on the determined level of authorization;

receive, from the user, a selection of a link, of the plurality of links,

the link corresponding to a particular category of service attributes;

transmit, to the user and based on receiving the selection of the link, a second web-based interface,

the second web-based interface being different than the first web-based interface,

the second web-based interface including options for allowing the user to update service attributes associated with the particular category of service attributes;

receive a change to a service attribute from the user;

store the service attribute change in a memory;

transfer the service attribute change from the memory to a redirect server,

the redirect server being associated with the IP communications network;

store the service attribute change at the redirect server,

the service attribute change being available in real time; and

modify, in real time, a manner of processing, by the redirect server, at least one call to the user based on the service attribute change.

47 . The system of claim 46 , where the service attribute relates to one of private call routing, prefix plan management, location management, call blocking management, feature blocking management, gateway management, or dial plan management.

48 . The system of claim 46 , where the service attribute relates to one of session initiation protocol (SIP) domain management, remote access configuration, or subscriber account management.

49 . The system of claim 46 , where the service attribute relates to one of private call routing, prefix plan management, location management, call blocking management, feature blocking management, gateway management, or dial plan management.

50 . The system of claim 46 , where the service attribute includes a call routing option and a call routing address and where the second web-based interface provides a first user interface control that allows the user to select the call routing option and a second user interface control that allows the user to enter the call routing address.
