Multi-Techonlogy Network Management (MTNM) is a CORBA-based Network Management System-to-Element Management System interface suite. Unlike Multi-Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI), MTNM is solely at the resource level.
Standardized interfaces between many vendors, technologies, and systems allow service providers to deliver new services and products faster and at lower cost.
MTNM includes support for inventory, provisioning, fault management, and performance management. MTNM supports the management of these technologies: SONET/SDH, PDH, DWDM, Ethernet, DSL, ATM, Frame Relay, and Control Plane management. Support is planned for T-MPLS, PBB-TE, and GPON.
MTNM uses a single interface infrastructure and applies the same patterns across multiple technologies. For example, the same basic termination point and connection model are applied across all connection-oriented technologies ranging from DWDM to ATM. A similar statement can be made about the MTNM connectionless model.

interfaces) to mix and match OSSs from various suppliers based on
factors such as price, quality, and functionality
- Increases interoperability by increasing the supply of interchangeable components and applications
- Decreases service activation time
- Fast introduction of new technologies
- Increases operating efficiency and automation
