Next-Generation Order Management: Elevating Data Center Services for a Leading Telco

Share Icon Share 28 Apr 2025

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

A leading telecommunications provider faced with inefficiencies and high operational costs in its order and workforce management processes for data center services due to outdated legacy systems. Key issues included:

  • Manual product management across multiple scenarios due to undefined workflows, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational burden.
  • An overly complex product catalog with 16,000 product offers, causing significant redundancy and complicated service delivery.
  • Limitations of the existing workforce management system, preventing it from adapting to new business requirements.
  • Inability to sell data center services through the marketplace channel due to system-level performance issues.
  • Fragmented workflows and delays caused by field teams relying on separate applications for trouble and order management.

HOW WE HELPED

DefineX executed a structured and tailored transformation plan to modernize the order management system, enabling a seamless transition from legacy applications to a modern, flexible architecture aligned with the latest Telco frameworks. Key actions included:

  • Implemented TM Forum global standards, including eTOM for process optimization, SID-based data modeling for structured data standardization, and a pattern-based approach to simplify and optimize the complex product catalog.
  • Developed a modern Pricing Engine to streamline pricing strategies and drive optimization.
  • Enabled business agility by rearchitecting 200+ order management processes using a centralized BPMN tool and modular workflows.
  • Delivered a high-performance single-page web application, providing users with an intuitive, streamlined experience.
  • Designed and deployed the Operate Manager module for fast and efficient operational tracking of order processes.
  • Established a scalable, cost-effective,  cloud-native architecture, supporting future business agility.
