COM/SOM/XOM

Customer Order Management applications manage the end to end lifecycle of a customer request. Service Order Management applications manage the end to end lifecycle of a service request.

Customer and Service Order Management share a set of similar requirements:
• Order validation
• Order decomposition
• Order orchestration

SFI Order Management is built on layer agnostic principles, thus Vlocity framework can be used to support COM, SOM and both COM and SOM.

SFI OM is XOM, pre-integrated COM/SOM platform.

EPC driven Order Management

  2. Vlocity order decomposition is a black-box, a magic.

  1. I just finished this video…very informative. I have a question. We’ve deployed Communications Cloud for a customer and are using Industry CPQ. The default cart in Comms Cloud is the ESM cart, which I don’t believe supports MACD until 3rd or 4th Q 2003. So in this demo, which cart was being used? I know that I can use LWC cart in Comms Cloud as well, which does support MACD. Was the cart in the demo LWC Cart or something else?
