We describe a novel service architecture that allows service providers to deploy and provision telecommunications services in an easy and efficient way. In contrast to today's Intelligent Network (IN) specification, the new architecture includes mechanisms for the automatic deployment, modification, and provisioning of services. It exploits the convergence towards IP as the universal network infrastructure to provide means for combining both Web and telephony services into more sophisticated and advanced ones.
