Putting the Information Framework (SID) to Work for You
In combination with architecture, applications and process, information is one of the four pillars of the TM Forum Solution Frameworks (NGOSS). Listen as presenters provide examples from communication service providers who have achieved success in a range of projects -- from large transformation to simple application replacement -- using the Information Framework (SID). You will learn about the Information Framework from overview to implementation, including how it is structured, its relationship with other Solution Frameworks, and how to extend this information model to best meet your unique needs.
Leveraging the TM Forum Solution Frameworks (NGOSS) and SOA for a Service-oriented Enterprise
The problems of optimizing the function, content and granularity of SOA services – and putting them to work in a service-oriented enterprise – have existed as long as SOA itself. Listen as John Wilmes, Progress Software, and Iwan Gramatikoff, Edelweiss Consulting, talk about how to apply a comprehensive, repeatable process that supports the design and implementation of SOA-based Business Services based on TM Forum standard process and data models. You will also hear how to construct Business Services and Platforms that maximize the effectiveness of SOA within your enterprise and its partners and suppliers.
Reduce Order Fallout and Keep Profit in your Pocket
Has multi-play service delivery increased your IT complexity and accelerated order fallout? Multi-play service delivery, evolving products and services, and ongoing customer churn have increased order fallout exponentially for many service providers. Industry analysts have stated that more than 25% of consumer orders are lost, stalled, or inaccurate. For enterprise customers, rates can be even higher. This not only results in lost revenue and increased operational costs, it diminishes the customer experience and pushes customers to your competition.
Application Integration Using the SID (Part I)
Listen to the first in a new webinar series that will build on last year’s popular book on data interoperability, Application Integration Using the SID, co-authored by John Wilmes. In each session, John Wilmes and other experts will walk through a section of the book and present a demonstration to bring the concepts to life, highlighting how DXSI adds value to the process. The webinar will provide an in-depth explanation of scope definition and interface analysis through a review of the Enhanced eBonding Catalyst.
NGOSS Contracts: The Key to Improved Interoperability
Getting from NGOSS contract to implementation is not always clear. This webinar will provide an overview of NGOSS contracts and what role they play in enabling an adaptable OSS/BSS environment. In it, John Wilmes presents a case study that demonstrates how IBM is using NGOSS contracts as part of a solutions framework, and he'll give you an overview of SOA-based NGOSS solutions available today from IBM and Progress Software.
