Discover how to achieve successful OSS/BSS integration using TM Forum's Shared Information/Data (SID) Model.
With the Shared/Information (SID) model, the TM Forum has developed a common language for enterprise operations in the telecommunications industry. What does this means to you? It means that you can capitalize on established integration expertise and improve productivity, reduce costs, and shorten the time to market for new services.
| BONUS REPORT! When you register for the featured white paper, you will also get Common Information Modeling in a SOA Environment: Overcoming the Final Obstacle to Rapid Telecommunications OSS/BSS Integration . This report explores the Common Information Model (CIM) approach to data exchanges between systems. As Stratecast sees it, the mismatch between data models in diverse OSS/BSS systems is the real reason that integration has been so difficult and the benefits of SOA so hard to achieve. |
Designed to Improve Operational and Business Support Systems Integration
The TM Forum added XML Schema Definition (XSD) representations to the original Unified Modeling Language (UML) definitions for the SID model. The SID XSDs are an important advance, providing the basis for developing reusable data models for integrated business applications. The whitepaper, Using the SID in OSS/BSS Integration, details how Progress® DataXtend® SI (Semantic Integrator) provides key support for building robust integrations that gain the value of the SID as a common data model to promote speed, agility, reuse, and data quality in integration projects for OSS/BSS.
