Integration Framework

For today’s Communications Service Provider, software rather than the network is the enabling function. This is driving the rate of service innovation to new levels. To cope, Service Providers are turning to software technologies, such as Service Oriented Architecture, and industry standards to gain business agility and flexibility. These are provided by the TM Forum Frameworx Integrated Business Architecture.

As an important component of Frameworx, the Integration Framework shows how the Business Process, Information, and Application Frameworks interact to:

  1. Develop a catalogue of Business Services based on Service Oriented principles. TM Forum's Business Services are an extension of NGOSS contracts and define functional and non functional aspects of a service
  2. Develop a platform or domain-based enterprise architecture that provides the business agility required to compete in today's market
From large scale enterprise architecture redesigns to smaller scale integration projects, the Integration Framework provides the key tools needed for success.
