ODA Components – Design Practitioners’ Course
Open Digital Architecture (ODA) components are reusable, plug-and-play software building blocks that perform IT and network functions, exposing their functionality through Open APIs.
Building on TM Forum’s rich history in leading IT and operational transformation, and on the success of a widely used suite of standardized REST-based Open APIs, this course explains how we define ODA components as software units that can be composed into systems or solutions. To fully realize the business benefits of using multi-vendor solutions, ODA components will enable vendor interoperability in the same way that reusable components are offered in cloud marketplaces such as Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud and Amazon Web Services.

Who should attend?
This course is suitable for:
- Technology architects, solution architects, applications developers, system architects, application owners, DevOps practitioners, Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) and the family of related roles
- Those interested in a deeper understanding of ODA components
- Those interested in learning about the relationship and interactions between TM Forums’ Frameworks
What will you learn?
You will be exposed to the ideas and aspects of ODA and how Open Digital Framework (ODF) assets support the initial creation of an ODA component’s specification. You will be able to:
- Describe how the TM Forum’s Frameworks interact
- Interpret a proposed ODA components description against business needs
- Select appropriate business processes to meet the needs of the ODA component
- Select appropriate business entities to meet the needs of the ODA component
- Select appropriate functions to meet the needs of the ODA component
- Select appropriate APIs to meet the needs of the ODA component
