| Mission | The increasingly complex multipartner digital services value chain raises new challenges in terms of ensuring time-to-market, seamless management, cost-effectiveness and revenue sharing. In order to meet these challenges, TM Forum members, including the world’s largest service providers and suppliers, have developed a standard set of Open APIs that enable the open digital ecosystem and provide critical management functionality to digital services. The Open API project and the Open APIs are developed and maintained, in response to 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. The Open API project provides the Open APIs and Data Model to enable interoperability within ODA. |
