Frameworx-based Procurement


If you are involved in preparing or responding to a procurement request within the information, communications, and entertainment industry, this workshop is essential for you as the adoption of Frameworx continues to increase. Frameworx is the successor to NGOSS/Solution Frameworks, not simply another name for it, and represents a blueprint for an integrated business architecture.

As a result, more and more service providers / operators are using the components of Frameworx to represent requirements within their procurement request activities. They are also requesting the degree to which a proposed solution conforms to a Frameworx component, such as the Information Framework (SID).

There is a need to provide a standard Frameworx-Based procurement request template that can be used to express solution requirements and to provide instruction on how to use the template or to respond to a Frameworx-Based procurement. This one day course satisfies these requirements, and:

  • Explains how to respond to certain procurement request sections
  • Introduces the Frameworx conformance process
  • Explains how to complete procurement request spreadsheets
