About the Industry Liaison Program

Industry Liaison Program
Building successful co-operative working relationships with other industry groups is an essential element to the work of the TM Forum. It is increasingly important that selected industry groups are made aware of the on-going work of the TM Forum so that they may influence other industry developments. Likewise, it is equally important that TM Forum is kept abreast of developments in other Industry Groups, which may impact its own work program. Ensuring such “Liaisons” are put in place will lead to more efficient development, less industry confusion and more significant and cost-effective standards.

Industry Group Advisory Council

Industry Group Liaison and Advisory Council
The Industry Group Liaison and Advisory Council (IGAC) is a collection of TM Forum members who are active in both TM Forum developments and also developments within at least one other Industry Group. Collectively, IGAC is then able to give advice to the rest of TM Forum on the positioning of its developments in relation to the work in these other Industry Groups. The operation of IGAC should lead to more coordinated and efficient industry development and less industry confusion. Membership of IGAC is on a selection basis, which is dependent upon the individual’s active contributions to Industry Group developments.
