“The Catalyst program was very worthwhile for both the TM Forum Interface Program Enterprise Identity Management team, as well as for Ericsson. Through this project we were able to gain the attention of several service providers and vendors, who are all now helping to promote the standard we were demonstrating. As the first vendor to implement the EIM interface, Ericsson was able to get an excellent test of our implementation and have learned that we do truly have a good understanding of the service providers’ needs. Through the Catalyst we were also able to prove that the implementation is straight forward and worth the investment.”
  – Basma Driss, Customer Project Manager in Ericsson CSI Germany; TM Forum Interface Program EIM team leader

BEA Systems not only used the results for subsequent business engagements, but since all the work was done through TM Forum, we were able to publicly showcase the results and take the architecture to other industry bodies.”
