Set a new vision for operational and business support systems, and a standard for the design of open digital platforms, enabling the transformation required to become a Digital Service Provider.

TM Forum's Open Digital Architecture (ODA) is a collective vision for our industry. It offers an industry-agreed blueprint, language and set of key design principles to follow. It addresses a wide range of challenges brought about by market, business model and technology changes. And will enable service providers to deliver at speed, quickly respond to changes, simplify the building of partner ecosystems, strengthen and simplify the procurement process, support zero touch operations, and reduce total cost of ownership.

Capturing the voice of the member, the End-to-End ODA project provides the overall design and governance principles for ODA, It also provide guidance on how to use ODA to address specific business challenges such as  transformation from a current 'As is' state to a future ODA based 'to be' state. 

Challenges  are identified and qualified through:

• TM Future Challenges workstream working with our Product Management and web teams,
• Members' questions posted on ODA and other communities,
• Direct contributions by team members. 

The value of this program arises from the continual testing of ODA assets and specfication against the current real world needs of our members. 

TM Forum members are collaboratively capturing architectural patterns and solutions to produce the Open Digital Architecture as an industry agreed blueprint for the next generation of supporting systems.
The project is delivering a model-driven and data-driven architecture that relies on metadata, microservices and a clear set of normalized APIs.
