Released: Wednesday, July 4, 2012

Already adopted by 90% of the world’s largest communications service providers, TM Forum’s Frameworx suite of standards provide a blueprint for effective business operations.

TM Forum Information Framework (SID) used worldwide by service providers and vendors alike, is a key element of Frameworx. End-to-end service management requires a consistent use of data across the enterprise. The Information Framework provides a comprehensive, industry-agreed definition for information that flows through the enterprise and between service providers and their business partners.

“Implementing the TM Forum Information Framework (SID)” is a practical guide that introduces advanced concepts/techniques for successful implementation within an application environment. The techniques have been tried and tested by many practitioners from both teaching and consulting backgrounds. This book uses helpful examples and use case scenarios throughout to demonstrate the concepts and techniques presented.

Also inside this book:

– Implementing Information Framework modeling patterns
– Information Framework and database design
– Maintaining Information Framework conformance
– Instantiation and implementation options for Information Framework entities
– Applying other implementation considerations

Praise for Implementing the TM Forum Information Framework (SID)

“Implementing the TM Forum Information Framework (SID): A Practitioner’s Guide” offers a wealth of techniques for using the framework as a starting point for database design. It continues with guidance on instantiating data, as well as other implementation strategies. Of special note is an Appendix that describes the use of an Object Oriented database design with the Information Framework.”
– Derek Laufenberg, Director of Systems Engineering, Versant

Two thumbs up! The future for operators will come from exploiting new sources of revenue in the digital world which are so well set out and explored in this book.
– Paul Berriman, Chief Technology Officer, PCCW
