System and Method for Product Deployment and Management

摘要

A system may include a memory and a processor. The processor is operable to create a product definition associated with a product, associate a first schedule with the product definition, and associate a second schedule with the product definition. The processor is also operable to determine a first price for the product and present the first price to a customer. The processor may be further operable to receive an indication that the customer has accepted the first price and associate the first price with the customer in response to receiving the indication. Finally, the processor is operable to determine a charge associated with the customer and initiate the billing of the customer for the charge.
