• Forum Frameworx: Introduction, Business Benefits, What’s New
• Case Study: Frameworx in Use at AT&T (Mark J. Arvidson, Core Government Subject Matter Expert, AT&T)
  Efficiently delivering technology and communications services to the US Federal Government often involves a number of commercial components; however, the government market imposes a number of unique requirements that are not addressed by most commercial, service-based products. This presentation will discuss how AT&T Government Solutions uses TM Forum Frameworx, specifically Business Process Framework, Information Framework, and the Application Framework, to manage the merging of core commercial capabilities into government-specific product offerings, especially in the data center and cloud services segments.
