Catalyst Program

The Catalyst Technology Program is the TM Forum’s living lab, where the technology behind solving business-critical issues is addressed. The program provides an opportunity for multi-company, multi-national teams to work together in a collaborative environment. But if you thought that this was only for technophiles, think again. The program addresses issues that have a direct bearing on the bottom line - revenue management, enhanced customer experience, digital commerce and advertising have all been the subject of catalyst projects. So, whatever your perspective: sales, marketing, operations, billing, security… the catalyst program will be doing something of direct interest to you. Come along and see for yourself at the next Management world.

Testimonials


“The TM Forum’s Catalyst Program has been a great way for us to team with service providers and vendors to demonstrate how Pantero’s software enables the use of the SID in very practical ways to simplify and speed OSS/BSS integration in a service-oriented architecture. It is a great outcome for the industry when companies can come together in a non-commercial setting to demonstrate how emerging standards can be used in very concrete ways to deliver business benefits to the service provider community.”– John Petrie, Director, Business Development, Progress Software
