Abstract: A high volume order management system is disclosed. Order capture and order processing are separated in order to allow the maximum number of orders to be captured during a short period of time. An order capture system is integrated with each website on which the product is offered. The system is comprised of a number of pods which are further comprised of order capture web pages, business rules and modules designed to capture orders as quickly as possible while still preventing fraudulent orders and providing the shopper with an expectation of whether the purchase attempt was successful. Orders are collected in a file and are subsequently processed by a global ecommerce system.

Abstract: A system and method for the fast, on-demand provisioning of platform-as-a-service is described. A customer submits a request for a platform, such as an e-commerce platform, by providing specifications for the infrastructure and identifying the type of platform required. The system automatically creates and tunes an infrastructure template. Applications and configuration details as well as other artifacts are installed on the template to create a platform model. The platform model is replicated to location and capacity specifications. Data Center and network details are registered so the platform may be identified on the network. The requestor may use the capacity for any period of time and then return it to the provider.
