Enabling New Services Initiative

Home Page:  www.tmforum.org/EnablingNewServices

"The key goal of this initiative is to reduce the cost of delivering services across value chains and
involving multiple parties (e.g. content, applications, advertising and mobile money types of service),
by providing standardized trading interface specifications within an appropriate level of business
architecture. This initiative is time critical as the development of 3rd parties, value chains and
multiple‐sided business models in delivering services is growing rapidly. In addition, this initiative is
likely to need extensive collaboration with other industry bodies and standards organizations."
