A component-based customer care management provides a flexible, modifiable, and customizable data processing system that may be tailored according to a business' needs. The component-based system may be deployed as a software, hardware, or software and hardware enterprise system. The enterprise system may include discrete federated task-based components that interface with a database of information through a data management or integration components. The enterprise system may be modified or updated with modifications to components to realize changing data processing needs. The enterprise system may be maintained, revised, modified, or updated without substantial or significant recoding.

Component based customer care management

A data processing system defines products that a service provider may offer to customers. A completed product definition may include product definitions, price definitions, discount definitions, and commitment definitions. Each of the definitions may be employed as a re-useable component building block for establishing completed product definitions.

Product definition system

A flexible, modifiable, and sophisticated rules processing engine includes a user interface through which customers may design and modify a wide range of rules. The customer may thereby setup rules that determine any action, template, or other resultant appropriate to or for their input data. Consequently, the customer may develop sophisticated processing patterns tailored to their own input data, without the time and expense associated with obtaining a custom solution from a software vendor.

Policy configuration user interface

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for preparing customer billing statements. In one embodiment, a method for preparing customer billing statements includes acts of retrieving information for a customer from a customer database; retrieving a set of notification rules; identifying a notification rule that applies to the information for the customer; linking the identified notification rule with a charge description; and generating a billing statement for the customer, where the billing statement includes the charge description.

Statement notification system

A configurable business process adapted to be created from a user interface includes defining flow tasks that identify value objects and obtaining the value objects used by the flow tasks. The value objects are evaluated using evaluation rules to produce a result. The result is used, in turn, to generate instructions to a system user relating to the value objects. The configurable business process operates through a business flow engine accessible to the system user through the user interface. A business flow configuration file and an adapter configuration file are defined. The adapter configuration file maps components, methods, arguments, and return values using an XML engine. Component APIs and an evaluation rules database are provided. The business flow configuration file defines selected component APIs to be executed to perform a user-defined operation.

Configurable business process

A method for managing customer financial accounts in a system for the delivery of products to a customer includes providing a customer account, first customer record, a second customer record, a product database, and a retailer database. The customer account is associated with the retailer database, the first customer record, and the product database. The first customer record is associated with the customer account, where an object of the first customer record is identified as a payer for the products. The second customer record is associated with the product database, where an object of the second customer record is identified as a consumer of the products. A second customer account and a second product database can be associated with the second customer record. The second customer account includes transaction records for the second customer record and provides transaction invoices to the second customer record.
