Enterprise Subscription Billing Edition

Extensive Workflow and Business Rule Configuration Control and Options

With Connect:SM Enterprise Edition, customers have direct access to the Core Platform Services that include the configurable workflow and business rules engine to enable them to adapt ordering, subscription billing and recurring payment workflow processes based on their individual requirements. Individual Core Platform Services are rules-driven and table-based to ensure maximum flexibility without custom programming.

Advanced Rating for Usage Processing

Connect:SM Enterprise Edition provides customers direct access to our real-time, rules-driven rating engine enabling them to create and manage the most complex pricing and charging plans. Integrated with the product catalog, complex subscription plans involving packages, bundles, 3rd party services, conditional features, and location specific offerings are examples of the almost limitless options that can be created.

Advanced Order Management and Workflow Support

Our Advanced Order Management option standard in the Enterprise Edition of Connect:SM for Cloud Commerce and Connect:SM for Communications, enables complex order processes that can require integration with other internal and external systems, require multiple departments to complete an order, and span a number of days or weeks. An order is not completed and committed to billing until all steps in the process are authorized to be released. The configurable workflow engine enables you to:

• define the steps used in the order process including authentication, authorization, and accounting processes

• establish different order processes for individual products and services

• apply rules-driven logic to ensure orders are processed timely and accurately and changes can be handled along the way, and

• maintain a history of individual order details.
