Section 1: Introduction
Atlas is a world class platform designed to give sellers of Voyant Hosted Unified
Communications an easy and convenient way to quote, order, activate and manage their
products, services and customer accounts. Atlas is a complete customer lifecycle management
tool, giving sellers the ability to navigate each order from proposal through support.
Atlas is a Voyant-branded platform, but it allows sellers the ability to operate under their own
brand name. In other words, every proposal, order or email communication will be sent with the
seller’s company name, contact information and logo.
This document will focus on the parts of Atlas you will need for managing Hosted UC
Customers, SIP Trunking Customers and Residential users.
Atlas is currently organized into the following primary tabs, each with a different set of
capabilities:
• Partner Set-Up Tab
• Sales Order Tab for Sales Order Management
• Service Order Tab for Service Order Management
• Workflow Tab for Workflow Setup
• Customer Order Tab
• Administration Tab
• Email Management Tab
1.1 Partner Set-Up Tab
The Partner Set-Up Tab allows you to create and manage new and existing wholesale and

users, functional groups and DID numbers.

The Service Order tab allows you to follow your orders as they progress through your Service
Delivery process. Each order can be opened to see the workflow assigned, as well as where it
resides within the assigned workflow. The Service Order widget is used to manage your Hosted
UC and SIP Trunk orders.

9
1.5 Workflow Tab
The Workflow tab allows you to create pre-determined workflows with specific tasks. These
workflows can then be assigned to orders when they move to the Service Delivery tab.

10
1.6 Customer Tab
The Customer tab allows for administrators to manage customer’s features and view their
Customer Administration Portals. The Customers Tab includes both the Customers widget for
managing Hosted UC customers and SIP Trunking customers as well as the Residential
Customers tab for managing Residential Customers.
