Currently well over 400 operators have signed the OFS Portal Electronic Data Agreement and have agreed to receive Content (price books) electronically via the OFS Portal catalog tool.
By being able to deliver price books to so many operators using open industry standards, we are able to streamline the process for all users and significantly reduce costs.
You of course are not required to use the tool or receive electronic price books from OFS Portal Members. But if you choose to receive electronic price books from the OFS Portal Members, you should expect to do so using the same secure tool that allows OFS Portal Members to send price books to all operators.
Allowing “one off” methods for delivery of price books would unfortunately drive up complexity and costs, which in the end would stunt the use of electronic price books.
