Your Integrated Business Architecture for Service Oriented Enterprises

Improve business agility, speed time-to-market and, reduce operating costs through component and process reuse

TM Forum’s Frameworx Integrated Business Architecture provides an industry agreed, service oriented approach for rationalizing operational IT, processes, and systems that enables Service Providers to significantly reduce their operational costs and improve business agility.

Service-oriented approaches encourage business agility through re-use, essential in today’s market where service providers need to deliver new services rapidly and increase revenues in the face of changing value chains and technologies.

Frameworx uses standard, reusable, generic blocks—Platforms and Business Services—that can be assembled in unique ways to gain the advantages of standardization while still allowing customization where necessary.

Frameworx

• Is the industry’s most comprehensive business architecture
• Provides the flexibility of a vendor and technology-independent blueprint
• Allows Service Providers to realize ITIL-compliant implementations through Business Process Framework
• Is fully supported by a range of commercial products

An Integrated Architecture Built on NGOSS

• Business Process Framework (eTOM) is the industry's common process architecture for both business and functional processes
• Information Framework (SID) provides a common reference model for Enterprise information that service providers, software providers, and integrators use to describe management information
• Application Framework (TAM) provides a common language between service providers and their suppliers to describe systems and their functions, as well as a common way of grouping them
• Integration Framework provides a service oriented integration approach with standardized interfaces and support tools

Another major step forward with Frameworx is the introduction of product certification, certified training, a certified TM Forum partner program, and extensive implementation support that will help service providers implement practical solutions based on Frameworx.

Frameworx, scheduled for full release in June 2010, is the result of a multi-year TM Forum effort and extensive collaboration among its 700-strong corporate membership through TM Forum’s collaborative R&D programs.
