The TM Forum and the Internet Protocol Detail Record Organization (IPDR.org) joined forces in 2007 to integrate the work programs and strategic direction of both organizations. As part of the agreement, IPDR.org became a key-working group within the TM Forum Interface Program: the Usage Data Management Team.

As a key component within the TM Forum Interface Program, the Usage Data Management Team and enabling technology will provide a pivotal point to deliver the TM Forum long term strategic vision of becoming the industry association for all players in the delivery of end to end services (including telecom, cable, content and information service providers, and their suppliers plus device manufacturers).
