ODA provides that common language for us, but we can’t just expect folks to learn that on their own. So one of the investments that we made this year was to do an enterprise-wide license for all of the ODA and ODF trainings. And we’ve seen great adoption of those trainings. And we really think that it’s providing value in the way that the teams are coming together and the implementations they’re doing within the network and within our IT system.” Stephanie Ormston, AVP of Digital Services Integration, AT&T
