1. A method comprising:
- storing, by a cloud infrastructure system, subscription order information related to a subscription order ordering one or more services from a set of services provided by the cloud infrastructure system, the cloud infrastructure system comprising one or more computing devices;
identifying, by a computing device from the one or more computing devices, based upon the subscription order information, a primary order workflow for processing the subscription order, the primary order workflow comprising one or more steps to be performed prior to enabling use of the ordered services; and
identifying, by the computing device, based upon the subscription order information, a secondary order workflow for processing the subscription order, the secondary order workflow comprising one or more steps to be performed for processing the subscription order; and
enabling, by the computing device, access to the ordered services after completion of execution of the primary order workflow, wherein the enabling is performed before completion of execution of the one or more steps in the secondary order workflow.

Abstract
Provisioning, managing and tracking of services provided by a cloud infrastructure system are described. A subscription order request from a customer for services provided by the cloud infrastructure system is received. A workflow is defined that includes steps to process the subscription order. The workflow enables a customer to gain access to services requested in a subscription order upon placing the subscription order without the customer having to wait until all the steps involved in processing the subscription order are complete.

8. A system comprising:
-
one or more computing devices configurable to provide one or more services; a memory configurable to store subscription order information related to a subscription order ordering one or more services from the set of services; and wherein a computing device from the one or more computing devices is configurable to; identify, based upon the subscription order information, a primary order workflow for processing the subscription order, the primary order workflow comprising one or more steps to be performed prior to enabling use of the ordered services; and identify, based upon the subscription order information, a secondary order workflow for processing the subscription order, the secondary order workflow comprising one or more steps to be performed for processing the subscription order; and enable access to the ordered services after completion of execution of the primary order workflow, wherein the computing device is configured to enable the access before completion of execution of the one or more steps in the secondary order workflow. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable memory storing a plurality of instructions executable by one or more processors, the plurality of instructions comprising:
-
instructions that cause at least one processor from the one or more processors to store subscription order information related to a subscription order ordering one or more services from a set of services; instructions that cause at least one processor from the one or more processors to identify based upon the subscription order information, a primary order workflow for processing the subscription order, the primary order workflow comprising one or more steps to be performed prior to enabling use of the ordered services; instructions that cause at least one processor from the one or more processors to identify based upon the subscription order information, a secondary order workflow for processing the subscription order, the secondary order workflow comprising one or more steps to be performed for processing the subscription order; and instructions that cause at least one processor from the one or more processors to enable access to the ordered services after completion of execution of the primary order workflow, wherein the instructions to enable is performed before completion of execution of the one or more steps in the secondary order workflow. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
