How to apply ODA
How to apply ODA
ODA assets can be used as the foundation to solve your technical/ business challenges by applying the principles of Simplify your Design, Modernize your Build and Automate your Operations. Using the ODA is critical to ensure you deliver the maximum cost reduction, drive new revenues and/or improve customer experience.
Simplify your design powered by ODA
TM Forum recognises the fact that different markets operate differently on a geographical basis and not all telcos are the same. They all have differing complex needs, desires and capabilities to evolve and drive growth. That is why, within ODA, we have developed the capabilities for CSPs to capitalise on new ecosystems, through delayering, partnering and developing their value streams through precise decision making.
Business Capabilities Framework
As organizations continue their transformation journey, simplifying the design of the future business using the capability framework will enable strategic alignment between the organization’s desired strategic goals/objectives and the outcomes, helping to realize the future business model. The capability model provides an abstraction from the IT estate, providing a common language between business and technical parts of the business. Capabilities are realized by various elements (people, process, information and systems).
Capability Framework
- Enables assessment of current and target capability maturity
- Improves investment decision making
- Improves portfolio planning
- Provides a neutral platform for cross business and technical discussion
Value Stream Framework
Value streams capture the sequence of activities that an organisation undertakes to achieve an outcome and deliver value to its stakeholders. By using value streams to simplify your design, you will gain greater insights into how your organisation uses its capabilities to deliver value to its customers, stakeholders or end users.
Value streams…
- Help protect strategic value delivery
- Help isolate key areas of value delivery for improvement
- Enable precision execution in transformation.
Business Process Framework
The Business Process Framework (also known as eTOM) is a comprehensive, industry-agreed multi-layered view of the key business processes required to run an efficient and agile digital enterprise. It provides a common language for use across departments, systems, partners and suppliers, reducing cost and risk of system implementation, integration and procurement.
- Business Process Framework provides a library of all the essential process definitions for the telco business
- Processes capture the "Tasks" of the business and are used to realize the organizational capabilities
- Identification of the key processes helps isolate areas for improved automation and application of AI
- Business Process Framework is widely deployed and is the basis for a common language in our industry
- Enables precision execution in organizational transformation
Information Framework
The Information Framework (SID) provides an information/data reference model along with a common vocabulary for implementing business processes. This business model is independent of platform, language or protocol and can help identify business entities that are important to the Communications Service Provider. It also provides the basis for a common data model and a common data dictionary and offers a foundation for function, application, component, and API development.
- Information Framework view allows the organization to represent itself as an information logical model.
- Helps to understand the organization from an information perspective
- Helps isolate key areas for improvement
- Enables precise updates in the organizational transformation
People and Culture
TechCo Organizational Design (TCOD) is helping the industry deploy and manage the ‘People’ side of the Open Digital Architecture by creating a framework for organizations to master operations, people, and culture for a successful digital transformation.
TCOD empowers service providers to get more intelligence from their ‘people,’ allowing better decision-making and making the organization a more inclusive employer.
Modernize your build powered by ODA
Modernize Your Build” describes an approach aimed at transforming and upgrading the way telecommunications companies (and other service providers) develop, deploy, and manage their digital services and infrastructure.
To create agile Composible IT and Networks, a change is required to the specifications in order to create a standardized plug and play software which include:
- ODA Open APIs Composability relies heavily on the use of open standards and APIs that ensure components can work together seamlessly, regardless of the vendor or underlying technology. This fosters an environment where different parts of the IT and network ecosystems can integrate smoothly.
- ODA Components: Composable IT and networks are constructed from modular, interoperable components that can be easily assembled, disassembled, and reassembled to meet specific requirements. These components, often referred to as “building blocks,” can include software modules, network functions, services, APIs, and hardware elements.
- ODA Canvas: The Canvas provides a structured, yet flexible, way to map out the components, processes, and relationships involved in building and operating composable IT systems and networks.
- ODA for Networks: Bridging the gap between IT (OSS/BSS) and networks where ODA specifies standardized, reusable software-defined components connected via Open APIs into the network. More information coming soon.
