| Value (Benefit) | TM Forum's Open Digital Architecture (ODA) if 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. Components and Canvas Project The Components and Canvas project provides the Components and Canvas specifications to enable interoperability and portability within ODA. End-to-End ODA 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:
The value of this program arises from the continual testing of ODA assets and specfication against the current real world needs of our members. Information Systems Architecture The Information Systems Architecture project provides the common language to underpin the ODA. |

| Theme Projects | Component and Canvas The components and canvas project defines reusable plug-and-play components of the Open Digital Architecture (ODA). The objective of the project is to maintain the master list of components and specify individual components, including their conformance test kit. The project also specifies the ODA Canvas in which components operate, and covers the ODA technical architecture End to End ODA The End to End ODA project captures the voice of the members to ensure that ODA assets from different teams converge, join up, and are usable. The project is responsible for creating deliverables that address members’ user stories that necessarily use or cover ‘all of ODA.’ This includes governance deliverables (e.g. the overall ODA graphics, the glossary, etc.). Others are specific areas that span the different architecture types, (e.g. security, architecture governance, etc.) The project is responsible for creating deliverables that address members’ user stories that necessarily use or cover ‘all of ODA.’ This includes governance deliverables (e.g., the overall ODA graphics, the glossary, etc.). Others are specific areas that span the different architecture types, (e.g., security, architecture governance, etc.). Information Systems Architecture The Information systems architecture project covers the information systems architecture part of the Open Digital Architecture (ODA). This includes the ODA functional architecture, Information Framework (SID), Functional Framework (FF) and Business Process Framework (eTOM). The objective of the project is to maintain the common assets which are common to all of ODA (in particular, the meta-model, the domains, and the verticals. It is also responsible for resolving mapping issues between repositories |
