This e-book includes interviews with Susan McNeice, Global Program Manager, OSS/BSS Competitive Strategies, Stratecast, and John Wilmes, Chief Technical Architect, Communications Sector, Progress Software. The e-book also explores:
- The business case for why data transformation is critical for competing in the applications business, and how data modeling is critical to enabling the integration needed to make transformation happen.
- What NGOSS is and where the TM Forum is trying to take their standards going forward to help telecom open up to other industries.
- How some top Communication Service Providers (CSPs) have used SOA and TM Forum's Information Model, the SID, to drive transformation, how to apply SOA correctly - and incorrectly, and how this technical work is driven by, and aligns with, business strategy.
