Getting started with ODA

ODA replaces traditional operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) with a new approach to building software for the telecoms industry, opening a market for standardized, cloud-native software components, and enabling communication service providers and suppliers to invest in IT for new and differentiated services instead of maintenance and integration.

ODA comprises an architecture framework, common language, design principles, and specifications for standardized, interoperable software components and Open APIs.

The ODA Com­po­nent Di­rec­to­ry, is a place for buy­ers to find soft­ware providers of Open Dig­i­tal Ar­chi­tec­ture Com­po­nents. ODA Com­po­nents are the soft­ware build­ing blocks of a cloud na­tive dig­i­tal ser­vice provider’s net­work and IT sys­tems, de­signed for plug-and-play in­ter­op­er­abil­i­ty in a stan­dard­ized de­ploy­ment en­vi­ron­ment (the ODA Can­vas). The com­po­nent spec­i­fi­ca­tions are un­der ac­tive de­vel­op­ment by the TM Fo­rum mem­ber com­mu­ni­ty.

This is an al­pha re­lease of the Di­rec­to­ry, based on func­tion­al map­pings of TM Fo­rum mem­bers’ com­mer­cial soft­ware prod­ucts to v6 of the ODA Com­po­nent In­ven­to­ry (pub­lished in De­cem­ber 2022).  We rec­om­mend view­ing the ODA Com­po­nent Di­rec­to­ry with a Chrome brows­er.

Removing the interoperability complexity through the use of Components and Canvas.

The ODA offers a new, catalog-driven approach to OSS/BSS where the industry defines some of the open interoperability standards through:

  • ODA components which are independently deployable pieces of software, typically built out of one or more microservices. They have an “envelope” that provides metadata to describe its core function – for example, rating, pricing, or invoice production, which are all parts of a billing system – and specify which Open APIs it exposes or depends upon.
  • The ODA canvas which is a software-defined blueprint for a cloud-native operating environment for CSPs. It provides an execution environment for ODA components and automates releases in a DevOps continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/ CD) pipeline.

Our Stories

Replacing legacy via huge and massive transformation projects, is too expensive, too long and too risky. ODA and its new component-based architecture, pre integrated on the ODA-CA platform, allows us to implement new systems, faster and more efficiently and is a key part of our global IT strategy.

Adopting an open architecture will allow for new operating models and partner ecosystems. These are essential in today’s world when companies are transforming to intelligent enterprises and shifting to technology-driven telcos with platform business models. To enable this change, Accenture is pleased to support ODA.
