A technical overview of the building blocks of TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA).
ODA-compliant components are interoperable software building blocks that run service provider businesses, enabling the industry to invest in IT for new and differentiated services instead of maintaining customized legacy code and interfaces.
Open Digital Architecture is a blueprint for modular, cloud-based, open digital platforms that can be orchestrated using AI.
This multi-module training course is designed to provide attendees with all the basic concepts of ODA components and why TM Forum is developing them.
