The Second Interview:

Collected information about the bill e-payment

Gathered further information about a future online store:

Documented all the assumptions made for the preliminary ERD:

the obvious need for an online store

the benefits of an online store for the online business the diferent types of products on sale: mobile phones, SIM

packs, accesories, promotional materials

special offers only available in the online store

the difference between private individuals accounts and legal entities accounts

the difference between voice and data services promotions and discounts available for price plans and other

services

Page 9: Management Team:

The following real example illustrates how our ERD and the myAccount application are interconnected.

Page 10: Management Team:

The ERD was created referring only to the online business.

There are two types of Client: private individuals and legal entities. Private individuals can create the account themselves by using

the “Auto-register” option. Legal entities accounts must be created by a representative of Connex

Customer Service. An administrator must be designated for the account and he will be able to create accounts for the company’s employees.

A “client_code” is a unique number assigned to each type of client: subscriber or

online store customer.

The “address” attribute is optional, needed only when the client is an online store

customer.

An Account is accessed by using a unique user name and a password. There

are two types of accounts: private and administrator. Each type of account

contains an organizational hierarchy, where all the subscribers are listed (e.g. all

the phone numbers of the employees of a company, all the phone numbers

registered on a consumer’s name).

Page 11: Management Team:

A Subscriber must use a price plan. A Price Plan reffers to different types of

services: data services (ISP Postpaid and ISP Prepaid) and voice services (GSM

Postpaid). Price plans and additional services might be changed or updated over

time. This information is kept in the Service Portfolio entity; its status can be:

active, inactive or suspended.

A subscriber, through a certain service, makes transactions. The charge for each

type of service is different (e.g. sms, calls, roaming calls, etc). This information is

modeled in the Service Type entity and Transaction entity. The “duration”

attribute reffers to either the volume of a message or the duration of a call

(internet access).

A Bill may be issued as a result of many transactions. The Destination Profile

entity reffers to the billing address of a subscriber. In case the client is a company

all the postpaid plans will appear on the same bill.

A client may use the online store by making an order. Each Order contains a

number of items. Each Item represents a type of product (e.g. handset,

accessory, promotional article, SIM pack). Since promotional articles can be

clothing, we needed to model an optional “size” attribute. Each accessory is

compatible for a class of models (e.g. Series 60).

Page 12: Management Team:

A subscriber can make different types of requests (e.g. activation/ deactivation

requests, changing/ updating requests).

The “code” attribute is a number assigned to each postpaid plan.

A subscriber may get feedback from Connex Customer Service by filling up a

feedback form. In these situations, an employee is needed to manage requests

and forms.

The Price entity shows how costs change over time. Certain promotions and

special offers can be applied to it.

One price is the value for a service, a service type or a product and may have one

discount applied to it. One Promotion has many Special Offers, referring to

services and products. Through the Price entity, promotions are connected to

special offers.

The logical attribute "paid" corresponding to the Bill entity shows whether

previous bills are paid or not. The total amount listed on a bill is the sum of all

transaction and active service costs evaluated during the billing period.

Page 13: Management Team:

The start_date must be before the end_date on the service portfolio, promotion and price entities.

At least one price plan must have "active" status, but not more than one for each type (GSM or ISP) of plan.

The discount on a special offer cannot outrun 100%.

The billing period of a bill starts on the "billing_date" and ends after 30 days.

An order cannot outrun the maximum sum of money that can be paid online.

A client code is assigned to the account administrator or the consumer whose name other subscribers are registered on. Both subscription code and client code are the same for administrators and consumers, who have many postpaid plans registered on their names.

Assumptions:

Page 14: Management Team:

A flexible and secure system has been created to allow data flow to be easily controlled.

Our solution allows activities like accessing your bill and bill e-payment to be easily managed.

The tracking system we created is able to keep historical data (e.g. price plans, tariffs, data services, etc) in storage.

Our system meets the need of a human operator in creating administrator accounts, managing requests and feedback forms.

The online business has been expanded by adding an online store. Records are kept for orders, deliveries and receipts.

We managed to create a strong designed ERD, which meets all of the online business needs.

Connex can generate reports for clients and accounts, bills and transactions, orders and deliveries by tracking services, subscribers and accounts.
