RULES DRIVEN WORKFLOW ENGINE
At the core is a rules-driven workflow engine that allows providers to select and direct how orders flow within their organizations. Orders can be automatically directed based on a wide number of criteria such as business or residential type customer, service area, or specific service being managed. Account number-based flexibility allows parent/child relationships for easy addition or removal of features regardless of originating number. CSRs can be guided anywhere within the sales and order processes with marketing or procedural prompting to ensure management-directed or marketing processes occur. Flexible rating capabilities allow mediation of virtually any service and is ‘future proofed’ for developing applications.

SIMPLIFIED SERVICE ORDER
Complex service orders have never been easier. The Simplified Service Order (SSO) process within the system automatically identifies specific services for any location and then immediately identifies which services the selected subscriber already has. CSRs can point and click to add or change orders, packages, or promotions. Accuracy is assured as only valid options are displayed and CSRs can interact creatively with subscribers to add a triple play to a single service subscriber, view and print a bill estimate, reconfigure on the fly back to a double play, or add additional features as they work with subscriber to determine exactly which services and price range is desired. Throughout the process any service, promotion, or bundle is clickable for a description of what’s in it as are details for carriers, charges, codes, etc.
