IBM Smarter Commerce Order Management for CommunicationsChris Shaw
These are some of the questions a CSP should ask itself when determining whether or not they have the truly intelligent multi-channel order management capabilities they are going to need to accommodate the new demands of the empowered consumer.
Can your customers order in one channel and pick up or return through a different channel?
Do you have visibility into your entire inventory of handsets, accessories or consumer premises equipment, regardless of it’s location?
Does your organization have the ability to rapidly adopt new solutions regardless of where or by whom they are fulfilled?
Can you easily provide a single source for all order status updates and fulfillment progress across all components sold in a customer order, even if they are fulfilled from different solutions?
Can your order management system dynamically change it’s processing behavior based upon real-time learning of it’s surrounding environment?
Do you have the ability to take insight from the ordering system to better understand in real-time how your solution is performing?

2. Picture and possibility of system realized by cloud computing
Cloud computing now becomes increasingly popular and widespread, the major topic of dis-
cussion about cloud computing becomes from "what is the cloud?" to "how and where to use
the cloud?". What does the cloud change? What does the cloud do and offer us? We look
at the cloud from the viewpoint of enterprise system.
General idea of the cloud computing from the viewpoint of "IT investigation" is actually very attrac-
tive. Users are able to use the resources and services without owing IT resource, and also to ad-
just the range of use. In addition to this, users can realize a system in the short term and make
efficient use of the system.
Above all, the cloud computing is extremely small in cost. It cuts the development cost and time
drastically, and reduces the running cost. If a company builds a new enterprise system without
reference to the conventional system and subcontractor, it will apply the cloud computing without
any question. We actually have a lot of to do for the system if finance permits.
Actually, many companies face the structural problem of IT investment form administrative and
competitive perspective. They spent huge amount of money on building backbone system by im-
plementing ERP etc. and don't have much investment reserve. The cost of operation and mainte-
nance for the conventional system, which is quite expensive, weighs on new investment volume.
If a company want to build a strategic system that makes great contribution to a company, the
budget that a company can afford to spend is limited. Not surprisingly, investment for IT is in the
severe environment.
Success and failure of IT application determines the competitiveness of a company, and the pos-
sibility of IT is increasing, however not many companies can afford to invest in IT. Under this cir-
cumstances, the cloud computing appeared. The approach and speed as well as its cost of de-
velopment, operation and maintenance is totally different than the conventional system. The
cloud will change the present situation, and can become a method to accelerate IT application.
There is a scenario that realizes a system for business support and customer service by using the
cloud computing, and transfers the existing backbone system to a new environment using the
cloud and virtual technology.
What is could computing for? Solve the technological problems.
Companies now can apply cloud computing if they want to. When companies plan to create over-
all picture of future system or build a system from scratch, the companies would rather look at the
possibility of using cloud, and should prepare the approach and system to make the most of the
value of cloud computing. However, we don't have much time to prepare for this. The reality is
much more urgent and immediate.
Most front systems are directly connected to customer contact and business. The objectives of
systematization has "moved to forefront" of business. Closed system is now "facing outward".
The system that is directly linked to business and is facing outward has specific features and diffi-
culty. Operating condition of the system is fluctuated by the behavior of business of customer.
Operation load is focused in one point, and the system is expanded or decrease in size according
to the growth or service of business.
Application of enterprise system not only handles open and static information, but also handles
dynamic information such as a recommendation and campaign for regular customer. The number
of interactive application using various information is increasing.
Infrastructure and security having flexibility to meet the needs of expansion and diversification,
database having the ability to handle huge amount of data, application that connects the outside
of firewall and backbone system... and handling of multiple terminals including mobile phone.

3. Picture and possibility of system realized by cloud computing
It is quite difficult to solve these technical issues by using existing environment. However, it is
just not realistic to solve them by the individual project. If you put things done, quality of system
may be decreased and development cost may be increased. Considering these issues from the
perspective of development speed and technological evolution, it is uncertain that each company
tries to solve these issues and accomplish objectives. In view of cost and technology, it is very
difficult and has limit that one user company's effort alone.
For this reason, many people expect cloud computing. Needless to say, cloud is internet-based
computing whereby shared applications are provided to computer or another devices. What kind
of technology does the applications on internet need? What possibility does cloud have? It
builds platforms for applications on internet and provides them as a service.
The technology required for system development and operation is obtained easily and by using
cloud computing. So company can concentrate on the application to be developed. This could
be adaptable fighting potential in systematization.
It is important to evaluate the technology of platform appropriately for using cloud computing. Or-
ganize the system features to be realized, and consider what kind of platform is really required.

Using the strength of cloud computing
With the exception of new project or some special cases, systems that will apply to cloud compu-
ting have a relationship with backbone system. If company wants to use cloud for their backbone
system, it is necessary to connect their existing system and on-premise application and cloud
computing seamlessly.
Multiple systems will be involved to draw business process from the business perspective. In or-

der to the application meeting the requirements of user, it is essential to make business process
consistent going over the boundary of the physical unit and location of system. This is the goal of
enterprise system today.
If a company create its own system using cloud computing, the boundary between systems be-
comes higher. Company should decide to use cloud computing as the possibility of optical meth-
od or technology for each system. By the way, in order to study how does a company use cloud
computing and, what can cloud compu-

Platform of cloud computing realizes the effective utilization of "internet + information". If there is
a need to check RFID and understand the distribution status and huge amount of data generated
by RFID, you can store this data into a database on web and share it in real-time. In order to re-
alize this, we need large-sized system, however if we use the technology of cloud computing, we
will be able to realize it quite easily. Because system using cloud doesn't need to exchange data
with user companies, it is simple and failure-resistant.
Cloud computing can be used for various purpose. It can be used in management of traceability,
joint development of the companies, development of global demand chain etc. We are able to
combine these and various devices. We can understand the movement of goods and money in

real-time by utilizing the communication between the mobile terminal and the device in base sta-
tion. We share the information through the devices. "Internet + information + devices", this is the
technology that makes the most of internet, connect to databases.
Realize the specific applications by combining SaaS
Connecting to public cloud service is another possibility to use cloud computing effectively. Con-
nect the information opened to the public and enterprise system. In United State, there is a site
called "Data.gov" that opens the information of government organizations to the public, and more
than 1.4 million information is disclosed and provided to citizens.
Combine the information of government organizations, market trend, currency exchange, the ex-
ternal information of the company and the information of the company. It can be connected to the
social infrastructure such as medical care and education. The enterprise system is now moving
from the closed system to more open. System will work and connect together with many other
systems in the environment of cloud computing. This is truly significant that we can have such
system.
Enterprise system can possibly utilize SaaS. One of the attractiveness of SaaS is that user can
use it in small unit. If you find a application with great potential, you can just use it. SaaS offers
loads of creative services by utilizing the features of internet, and user sometime finds the unex-
pected way of using the application.
User not only can use the application of SaaS alone, but also use the combination of applications.
User can create a original application by combining services that have specific function such as
map, location information etc. Existing system can also provide the original function meeting the
requirements of customer by modifying the screen display created with SaaS (figure 3).

6. Picture and possibility of system realized by cloud computing
The real significance of SaaS is the expandability and growth potential created by the combina-
tion of applications. Value of applications is increased and user's own unique world is built by
combining SaaS applications.
Each service of SaaS is not complicated nor fancy. Therefore, it is important to consider what
function is required for the system you are planning to build. Exercising your imagination is very
important and required in building cloud computing. In addition to this, the integration technology
such as SOA and its platform is also required to develop cloud computing service.
Many SaaS applications have some specialties such as having high arithmetic processing perfor-
mance for designing and demand forecasting. So use SaaS application for the function that re-
quires special knowledge and specific logic as well as basic information.
However, you can also use SaaS application for the function that requires standardization and
commonization such as for the conversion to common code. Making common usage part SaaS
or on-demand, users can maintain their system with the cycle that is different from the way usual-
ly users use.
SaaS can be a method to obtain better knowledge and improve the quality of system develop-
ment. SaaS allows us to gain advanced and specialized knowledge and technology. In other
words, users can use knowledge and wisdom around the world through cloud computing.
Applying cloud computing brings new possibility to enterprise system. However, it is to be noted
that customers have somehow experienced cloud computing through public cloud service.
System toward the outside, standard is decided by the customer perspective. The customers
who have already experienced cloud computing expect to company to provide same quality of
services. Using pictures and moving image is already ubiquitous among enterprise application,
and the quality of system on the net increases drastically. On the other hand, the demands of
customer have increased. We have to deal with this issue soon, and improve system based on
the feedback of customer.
Wide spread of cloud computing is the beginning of new challenge for enterprise system.
