TM Forum Staff Support: Tony Richardson

TM Forum is extending its Management activities to include end-to-end Management of Next Generation Services - which will include service components from many other Industry providers (eg Content, Cable, Entertainment etc). A major aspect associated with this is the Service Delivery Framework (SDF) which is associated with rapid multi-supplier service delivery. For TM Forum this will involve defining the essential Management capabilities - which will be required to adequately support the SDF and also the associated end-to-end service concerns.

Present work on this project involves defining the Requirements to fill “Gaps” in existing NGOSS Frameworks and associated specifications (eg eTOM, SID, TAM etc). In addition the positioning of appropriate contributions from other Industry Groups and market sectors will also be an essential facet.
