Understand how TM Forum’s best practices are used to enable IoT services and create digital business ecosystems.
The way we do business and offer services is transforming, with the delivery of IoT services often involving complex groupings of partners and suppliers. These ecosystems have a lot of moving parts with the complexity of multiple partners, business models and stakeholders bringing challenges and opportunities. It gets complicated very quickly!
