Projects
This project is working to assist organizations in setting and guiding their overall AI strategy, to ensure alignment across all their projects. The aim is to build and nurture a collaborative network for knowledge sharing and innovation in AI, establish best practices, pinpoint high-potential AI applications for effective scaling, and enable the seamless integration of AI solutions across different business units.
Join your peers to define a reference architecture and related collateral to enable CSP's to transform network operations by using AI driven closed-loop automation to detect anomalies, determine resolution and implement the required changes to the network within a continuous highly automated framework.
Make sure your operations are fit for AI and automated era. Join this project so you can redesign and reengineer your operations processes to support AI and contribute to the use cases where AIOps is having the largest impact.
Join this project to help define fully automated zero wait, zero touch, zero trouble innovative network infrastructure and ICT services for CSPs, vertical industries’ users and consumers.
Join your peers in creating a set of TM Forum-approved business architecture models. This suite of assets is based on cross-industry best practices, for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to build and enhance their own business architecture practice. Business Architecture is a practice discipline that utilizes a knowledge base to provide clarity of changes to the business so that strategic changes can be easily and efficiently implemented.
Be part of a key project focused on integrating assurance and risk management into a proactive data-centric assurance framework that is continuously protecting and improving financial integrity while enhancing business value and customer experience.
Work with peers to define TM Forum reusable plug-and-play components, and the ODA Canvas in which the components will operate. This project maintains the master list of components, defines specific component specifications, and specifies the ODA Canvas. In addition to the components, the project also covers the ODA technical architecture.
Join the Digital Twin for Decision Intelligence (DT4DI) team supporting service providers with their adoption and deployment of decision intelligence solutions and practices, powered by artificial intelligence and digital twins.
Join this project team to focus on overcoming the business challenges related to monetizing connected smart services, managing complex ecosystems of partners required to deliver these services and enabling digital trust end-to-end across a vibrant digital economy.

Be part of the team that captures the 'voice of the member' to ensure that ODA assets from different teams converge, join-up, and are useable.
Get involved with the project that covers the information systems architecture part of ODA including the ODA functional architecture, Information Framework (SID), Functional Framework (FF), and Business Process Framework (eTOM).
This project envisions a unified ODA model with consistent architecture across its elements. To realize this, the project works to ensure ownership of the ODA Reference Framework, which includes shared elements like ODA Domains. It is establishing a governance framework for comprehensive and cross-project decisions and providing a toolset for maintaining and publishing the ODA elements as a cohesive model.
Join this cross-autonomous operations project that defines, manages, and communicates the clear business value outcomes and business benefits of any and all of the autonomous operations initiatives. It also works to provide justifiable measures and metrics to enable the communication services industry and verticals to realize the business investment benefits of AI Closed Loop Automation, Autonomous Networks and all other technology-led projects in the autonomous operations theme.
Get involved in the project exploring upgrading data architecture in telecoms, analyzing tech advancements, business model shifts, market dynamics, and environmental factors to define modern architecture features for today's telecoms landscape.
Be part of the team that is developing the “code” part of the TM Forum Open APIs, to be licensed under the Apache 2.0 license mode. This includes re-releasing APIs previously released under RAND
Join your peers to create a set of standard interfaces that enable rapid, repeatable and flexible integration among operations and management systems.
Join this project focuses on evaluating and implementing Open Digital Architecture (ODA) consumer and stakeholder experience strategy. Its mission is to assess the value of AI-enabled ODA experiences and address gaps, considering all ODA consumers, including service providers, partners, employees, and customers.
