Telecom Insights
In September 2023, the TM Forum held their annual DTW event in Copenhagen, Denmark. This event was a chance for global communication service providers (CSPs) and industry software vendors to come together to learn and discuss how to simplify, modernize, and automate the telecom business. A major theme for discussions and sessions throughout the week was the TM Forums Open Digital Architecture (ODA). According to the TM Forum, ODA replaces traditional operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) with a new approach to building software for the telecoms industry, opening a market for standardized, cloud-native software components, and enabling communication service providers and suppliers to invest in IT for new and differentiated services instead of maintenance and integration. Hundreds of CSPs and software vendors have endorsed the TM Forums ODA and open APIs. This industry commitment was on full display during the event.
TM Forum's ODA provides the blueprint for a modern enterprise architecture, built on industry-agreed, modular, reusable software components, and Open APIs. ODA helps CSPs transform business agility and significantly reduce costs. One of the components in ODA blueprint that reinforces the importance of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in telecom is the 'Location Management' component. Learn more about this 'Location Management' from the blog below:
