TIBCO Fulfillment Orchestration Suite Components
The TIBCO Fulfillment Orchestration Suite solution is capable of supporting end-to-end order fulfillment with order management, provisioning, catalog, and inventory capabilities.
The following are the constituents of the TIBCO Fulfillment Orchestration Suite:
- TIBCO Order Management - Long Running: TIBCO Order Management - Long Running is a metadata driven order management and fulfillment system, which allows development of fulfillment plans based on meta-data specified in product catalogs. Order fulfillment and service provisioning is no longer a simple single-service or product workflow. The dynamic bundled offerings along with the explosion of devices, applications, real-time inventory management, and third-party content providers require a complex order fulfillment system, which can adapt to the changes in processes, metadata, and inventory. Traditional Operation Support System or Business Support System approach with the data silos fail to provide a dynamic and agile solution.
- TIBCO® Fulfillment Provisioning: TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning is a provisioning component that automates the activation of the underlying network services and allocation of all the network resources. This provisioning element implements service order management and resource order management TAM applications, aligns to service and resource activator Operation Support System order management components, uses eTOM service configuration and activation, and implements resource provisioning processes and functions.
- TIBCO® Product and Service Catalog: TIBCO Product and Service Catalog is a catalog function that defines and manages life cycles of commercial and technical offerings.
- TIBCO® Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory: TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory maintains a current image of customer products at any given point in time that is capable of supporting fast concurrent read or write access while ensuring data consistency. TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory also provides a rich, user-friendly web interface that can be used to explore and modify the contents of the system in a safe and secure manner.
To enable TIBCO Fulfillment Orchestration Suite to provide a truly unified and cohesive solution suite, different components of the suite have been integrated. For instance, the suite provides predefined inter-connectivity between TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning, TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory, TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory, and TIBCO Product and Service Catalog TIBCO Product and Service Catalog, a catalog concept alignment between TIBCO Product and Service Catalog and TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning through data synchronization process, and a GUI integration for a similar look-and-feel.
