Service Providers

TM Forum boasts approximately 200 Service Provider members, and networking among 6000 highly targeted industry professionals who attend global events every year.

TM Forum creates guidelines, best practices, and standard interfaces that enable standards-based integration among all elements of service creation, delivery and assurance. Through those rudiments, service providers expedite service roll-outs and foster flexibility to quickly accommodate market changes. They also significantly reduce the “integration tax” typical of non-standards based environments.

With an arsenal comprising business process language, an information model, architecture guidelines and interfaces from the “NGOSS” framework, TM Forum members readily leverage accumulated industry expertise. That expertise helps them automate operational processes critical to the creation and maintenance of innovative services and positive customer experiences.
