Abstract: A system that provides a fulfillment action (or “action”) is provided. The system defines an action specification including a pattern of a structured request to perform work on a subject. The system further defines data for the action specification, where the data includes an action code template that references action codes, and a parameter list template that references parameters. The system further defines the subject for the action specification, where the subject includes a subject template that references entity specifications. The system further defines a target for the action specification, where the target includes a target template that references resource specifications. The system further generates an instance of the action based on the action specification, where the pattern of the structured request to perform work is transformed into process logic configured to perform the work on the subject.

Abstract: A system that provides a technical catalog is provided. The system defines items including metadata used by a fulfillment solution to drive service order fulfillment, where each item is used by the fulfillment solution to fulfill an order. The system further stores the items within the technical catalog, where the technical catalog includes a data store that stores metadata, and where the technical catalog defines a structure of the items. The metadata defines the key entities and behavioral elements used to specialize service order fulfillment capabilities such as service order orchestration, service order design and assign, etc. The system further designs the fulfillment solution to use an item to fulfill an order. The system further generates the fulfillment solution using the item.

Abstract: A system that generates a technical order is provided. The system receives a configuration delta including a change in a configuration of resource-facing services or resources. The system further generates technical actions that effectuate the configuration delta, where each technical action includes metadata that defines a pattern of a structured request to perform work on a resource-facing service that is based on a resource-facing service specification or a resource that is based on a resource specification. The system further generates technical order lines, where each technical order line includes a technical action and a resource-facing service that is based on a resource-facing service specification or a resource that is based on a resource specification.

Abstract: A system that provides a fulfillment solution blueprint is provided. The system defines order layers for the fulfillment solution blueprint. The system further defines provider functions for the fulfillment solution blueprint. The system further assigns each provider function to an order layer. The system further defines interface contracts for the fulfillment solution blueprint. The system further assigns each interface contract to a provider function.

Abstract: A system that designs a fulfillment solution and fulfills an order using the fulfillment solution is provided. The system defines a technical catalog that includes items including metadata used by a fulfillment solution. The system further defines a fulfillment solution blueprint that includes multiple order layers that define multiple layers of the fulfillment solution, multiple provider functions structured according to a dynamic pattern-driven model, and multiple interface contracts defining multiple interactions between multiple provider functions. The system further designs the fulfillment solution to use at least one item of the technical catalog to fulfill an order. The system further designs the fulfillment solution based on the fulfillment solution blueprint. The system further generates the fulfillment solution based on the fulfillment solution blueprint using at least one item of the technical catalog.
