Solution Description

IBM’s “catalog driven order management solution” allows communications service providers (CSPs) to efficiently manage the end to end order life cycle for complex product offerings, across lines-of-business (wireless, fixed line, cable, enterprise) and order-entry channels (web, call center, store, mobile, B2B and social networks). Based on the IBM service provider delivery environment (SPDE) framework, the solution allows CSPs to implement a set of standardized, product catalog-based eTOM aligned business processes for fulfillment. The solution supports complex order orchestration, order decomposition, dependency management, TM Forum standards-based integration, human task management, jeopardy handling and automation of manually intensive activities. Combining Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operations Support Systems (OSS) with middleware that is based on TM Forum Frameworx allows the solution to be deployed flexibly into contexts where many legacy applications are retained and interworked with newer applications. The integration platform translates legacy interfaces to TM Frameworx based contracts and uses a SID-based data model to align disparate vendor approaches. In the following figure, the IBM BSS and OSS applications that are part of the solution are mapped to the corresponding TAM logical application names. The solution plugs into an existing OSS/BSS infrastructure, including heritage applications, providing service interfaces to connect to systems like back-end customer relationship management (CRM), billing, inventory and activation applications.
