About the Catalyst Program

Catalyst Program

The Catalyst Program is the BSS/OSS proving ground. It provides service providers, systems integrators, and hardware/software vendors the environment to work together to solve common, critical industry challenges through collaborative short term projects that culminate in live demonstrations. Solutions built by Catalyst teams are based on TM Forum standards that enable ease of integration across multiple Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) products.
