A system for a searchable best fit abstraction framework includes a network having one or more network resources, a network inventory server programmed to generate a network inventory of the one or more network resources, and a searchable best fit abstraction engine in communication with the network inventory server. The searchable best fit abstraction engine includes at least one processor, and non-transitory computer readable media having encoded thereon computer software comprising a set of instructions executable by the at least one processor. The set of instructions includes instructions to retrieve the network inventory, instantiate an inventory class object for at least one network resource, define a set of service abstractions for the inventory class object, provide customer and service provider facing interfaces, and provision at least one service offering satisfying a customer service requirement, or as defined by a service template.
