| Cloud services represent a significant evolution in the use and provision of digital information services for business effectiveness. Yet as buyers start to look at using these services, it is clear there are a number of barriers to adoption.
The primary objective of TM Forum’s Cloud Services Initiative is to help industries overcome these barriers and assist in the growth of a vibrant commercial marketplace for cloud based services. The centerpiece of this initiative is an ecosystem of enterprise customers, cloud service providers and technology suppliers who collaborate to define a range of common approaches, processes, metrics and other key service enablers.
The Enterprise Cloud Leadership Council (ECLC) which consists of a group of enterprise customers serves as the anchor for this ecosystem. |
