Demonstrate commitment to Open APIs and Open Digital Architecture in your IT strategy

The world’s largest telecom operators and their partners have been collaborating to enable end to end seamless connectivity, interoperability and portability across complex ecosystem based services.

TM Forum has created a two-tiered approach for members to align with the vision of the industry agreed standards. The first level is to demonstrate endorsement and use of TM Forum Open APIs, and the second level is committing to get involved in the development and implementation of the Open Digital Architecture and Open APIs. Depending on factors such as company size, the maturity of your Open API implementation and the resources you can give to collaboration, you may select the level you would like to support.

LEVEL 1:
Open API
Manifesto
