OMS Products

OMS Products focus on digital product lifecycle management. Like other lifecycle models this focuses on the management of a product (made up of finished goods or deliverables) from initial release processing to final delivery but takes into account that software products can be managed and delivered electronically. OMS Products maximize your return on investment (ROI) by centralizing the management and collection of digital assets (deliverables) and by linking product structure and deliverables to customer entitlements.

Digital Product Lifecycle Management (DPLM)

The DPLM model identifies the 8 key steps of managing a digital product and its digital assets. It starts with the elemental build step where finished goods related to a product are brought together. Electronic finished goods or digital assets include the documentation, program executables and install files, release notes, CD and DVD Images and other final deliverables. In the configure step products are defined through software bills of materials (BOMs) to link structure, metadata (data about the digital assets) and content (actual files) together. Products are released and the deliverables must be made available to your customers.

The entitle step links product, order and customer data together for not only base products but updates and upgrades as well. The deliver step allows your customer to download deliverables on a self-serve basis. The install and control steps are focused on the initial licensing and any subsequent configuration changes that happen.

The present step is the eCommerce catalog presentation allowing your customers to see products and options. The transact step involves the actual sale and revenue collection processes. All these steps have processes, business rules and business systems which need to be considered when implementing Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) and eCommerce systems.
