Business Process – Order to Cash (OTC) Implementers

Business Process – Order to Cash (OTC) Implementers

Understand how TM Forum’s Business Process Framework can be implemented to optimize the Order to Cash process flow, which is a critical part of today’s business operations.

The “Order to Cash” process encompasses the steps from receiving a customer order to collecting payment and includes activities like order fulfilment, billing, and payment collection. Understanding and optimizing this process flow is key, in today’s business operations, to enable efficient cash flow, maintain customer satisfaction and drive financial reporting accuracy. This Implementers course is a vital next step for organizations looking to leverage TM Forum’s Business Process Framework to streamline operations and transition into an efficient digital service provider.

This course enables learners to appraise their current Order to Cash process, compare it to today’s challenges and drivers, and provides insight into the best practices for implementing the specific Business process to optimize the flow across domains. It also shares details on mapping across the Open Digital Architecture (ODA) and ultimately running autonomously.
