Tracking orders is easy and it is intuitive. Sometimes when the load gets too much, it's a little slow.
It has a very good user interface. It makes my life easy, because I am from the quality testing team, so it's easy for me to track any order. Since I am from Target, I need to track orders; tracking is very easy through the IBM Order Management System. It is extremely intuitive.

I like the assignment management and contact management features. I would like them to extend the possibility for functional segregation.
Extending the possibility for functional segregation would allow us to decentralize certain functions between different areas. In our organization, the administration of users (or executives who access the system) is done by an area. The management of executive skills is performed by another area, according to the current Siebel. These roles should not be independent.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are lot of features which are the best but to point to a couple, the Global Inventory Visibility and Sourcing and Scheduling."
"Out of the customer relationship tools that I have used, I feel OMS has more capabilities."
"It provides end to end customer management, from marketing all the way to support, meaning you also have sales, product management, literature, asset management, opportunity analysis, maintenance SLA compliance, and support, with all the common features present on modern CRMs including phone sync and email merge capabilities."
"I found that this product had the ability to meet our business needs."
"With the implementation of the assignment manager, we are now able to automate assignment rules that we previously had in hard, and this feature allows us greater flexibility when incorporating new assignment rules."
"Data migration, data deduplication, and application flexibility with respect to business rules are valuable features."
"As far as CRM's go, it's a very flexible solution, and we're able to customize the business rules with code and to integrate it with middleware applications to manage the rules externally."
"Being a single source of information, this provides an authoritative source of information."
 

Cons

"Maybe the performance needs to improve. Sometimes when the load gets too much, it's a little slow."
"The technical support and timely update on the PMRs needs to be improved."
"It is a very expensive product and data steward module is very complex."
"Business rules for data duplication can be improved."
"There were issues, mostly due to the lack of capability of the implementation partner who delivered the solution."
"The initial setup was complex. The degree of parameterization required for the initial setup was not made obvious."
"Pricing is very high."
"Deployment is still considered cumbersome and the integrations are quite an expense."
