Reference Case H – TW DMS Common Site
Project’s situation
This is a new initiative raised from GTS EUS team. They will provide an End-toEnd EUS offering to multi-customer with multi-partner. The offering starts from
ordering to maintenance service. There is no tool for GTS EUS team to manage
the overall ordering flow between multi-partner and multi-customer. Therefore,
there might be communication gap between customer, IBM PM and Partner for
order status and follow-on actions.
Customer & IBM’s requirement
• Build a common platform for Customers to purchase DMS related products with
united online catalogue provided by multi-vendors.
• Customers may shop multi products online and multi vendors, with multi-stage
shipping applying and management.
• Provide flexibility for IBM to provide customized catalogue, prices and products
to different customers. Easier to manage customer relationship.
• Keep overall transaction records online, and may be exported as summarized
report for all parties.
Results and benefits
•
•
•
Improve Efficiency: IBM PM and customers and Vendor could communicate
via WSE to improve efficiency and stay at the same page among team.
Avoid human error: Vendor upload catalogue via WSE and customer/PM
view catalogue at WSE to avoid file missing.
Clear project tracking: Customer and PM could review the overall order
status and PM is easy to have overall report to present customer how good
we are.

successful factor to overall DMS-Lite
offering. Without this Web eSolution,
we couldn’t provide the End-to-End
offering to customer and manage the
status between multi-customer and
multi-partner.”
