Scenario
U+ Comms, a leading telecommunications company, has decided to utilize Pega Customer Decision Hub to improve its customer experience and provide better service. The company offers a broad range of products to prepaid and postpaid customers. U+ Comms uses its website and sends outbound communications through SMS and email channels to market its products to subscribers.
The team has started the kick-off meetings and is eager to start implementation. As the Decision Architect, you are responsible for configuring the development environment and preparing the environment for change management.
A typical 1:1 Customer Engagement project involves five environments:
- An orchestrator to manage and automate the deployment process of artifacts to the candidate environments.
- A development environment (system of record) to develop enterprise features.
- A staging environment to test changes and assess their business and technical impact.
- A business operations environment (BOE) to perform business changes.
- A production environment to serve real customers with the latest and greatest artifacts.
However, this assignment provides only two environments:
- Development system that serves as the system of record, production, and orchestrator
- Business operations environment in which you initiate business changes.
Initiate both environments by using the following challenges:
Initialize the Development environment.
Initialize the Business Operations environment.
Caution: The environments are deleted after three days of no usage.
