generating at least one graphical user interface (GUI) comprising the auto-commissioning information and at least one interactive element;

presenting the at least one GUI to a user; and

based on determining a user interaction with the at least one interactive element, outputting the one or more triggers to the device management system.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more triggers comprise at least one of: an Internet Protocol (IP) transport trigger and an Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) trigger.

8. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the action by:

generating, based on the aggregated information, one or more GUIs, each of which comprises information associated with a respective information category among the one or more information categories; and

presenting the one or more GUIs to a user.

9. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the generating the one or more triggers further comprises aggregating the collected information into one or more templates.

10. A method, performed by at least one processor to automatically generate one or more triggers based one or more templates for provisioning of one or more network devices, the method comprising:

collecting information from one or more information resources;

processing the collected information; and

based on the processed information, performing an action to facilitate the provisioning of the one or more network devices, the performing the action comprising:

selecting, based on the one or more triggers to be generated, the one or more templates;

extracting, based on the selected one or more templates, information specified by the one or more templates for generating the one or more triggers from auto-commissioning information;

generating, based on the extracted information, the one or more triggers for commissioning the one or more network devices, wherein the processor is configured to enrich the extracted information to correct errors in the information, and

selectively outputting the one or more triggers to a device management system to automatically commission the one or more network devices by configuring the one or more network devices with the one or more triggers.

11. The method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the one or more information resources comprises at least one of: a network planning system, a ticket management system, a user management system, and a user equipment;

wherein the processing the collected information comprises: filtering the collected information according to one or more information categories; and

aggregating the filtered information according to the one or more information categories.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the one or more information categories comprise the auto-commissioning information and at least one of: network device type, site information, project information, document information, and ticket information.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the performing the action comprises storing the aggregated information according to the one or more information categories.

14. The method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the device management system comprises at least one of: an operations support system (OSS), an element management system (EMS), and a network management system (NMS); and

wherein the device management system is configured to perform the commissioning on the one or more network devices based on the one or more triggers.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the selectively outputting the one or more triggers comprises:

generating at least one graphical user interface (GUI) comprising the auto-commissioning information and at least one interactive element;

presenting the at least one GUI to a user; and

based on determining a user interaction with the at least one interactive element, outputting the one or more triggers to the device management system.

16. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more triggers comprise at least one of: an Internet Protocol (IP) transport trigger and an Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) trigger.

17. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the performing the action comprises:

generating, based on the aggregated information, one or more GUIs, each of which comprises information associated with a respective information category among the one or more information categories; and

presenting the one or more GUIs to a user.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by at least one processor to, automatically generate one or more triggers based one or more templates for provisioning of one or more network devices, cause the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:

collecting information from one or more information resources;
