3. Catalyst contracts - MSA & SOWs

TM Forum utilizes two types of contract, Master Service Agreements (MSA) & Statements of Work (SOW's) 
This format is used to:

• Streamline the legal process for our members, helping them join a catalyst team and make the project active quicker
• Speed up contract negotiations 

Please see further details about the contract process below:

Example  If TM Forum were going to take part in three Catalyst projects this cycle, they would sign one MSA and then three smaller SOWs. Reducing the need for three separate lengthy contracts. 

N. B Standard Catalyst contracts can still be issued if the member or participating company cannot sign an MSA

Follow the below bullets to build a successful project page. Please note you can only edit the project page once you have created a Tm forum account and been added to the project page by one of your team members (create your TM forum account here)  

• Upload any and all collateral to your page, such as Presentation/Demo videos and documents. (See how to guide here)
• Add your company logo and privacy link to the project page (See how to guide here)
• Add all participating team members to your project page, so they can make edits and maintain the page. They will then be automatically added to the email distribution list to receive all operational updates and emails (See how to guide here)

Page tabs;

Once your project reaches Pending activation this will then be copy edited by our Marketing team and locked for editing.  Submit requests to change your about tab here .
• RESOURCE tab - where teams upload all collateral, documents, and videos.
