Revolutionizing Order Orchestration with cloud-enabled, intent-Based solutions per TM Forum standards
The future BSS and OSS landscape will exert significant pressure on legacy systems and ill-suited custom solutions to support the operator's transition to new technologies and business models. The adoption of new and revised models within B2B, B2C, and B2B2C (wholesale), along with the push for TM Forum ODA (Open Digital Architecture), will compel many operators to reassess their order orchestration and fulfillment solutions to leverage the benefits of standardization, cloud technologies, and intent-based flows across all layers in the BSS/OSS stack.
Implementing a flexible, scalable, and robust fulfillment platform will be essential to adopt ODA and new technology standards and remain competitive with the quick launch of new product offerings and consumer services. It is crucial that the operator's product and service catalogs, field service solutions, and billing processes can be seamlessly integrated with a robust order orchestration and fulfillment solution to provide an excellent customer experience for consumers and businesses.
Our next-generation order fulfillment solution is a versatile, multi-layered, and technology-agnostic order processing engine designed to meet future challenges. Leveraging cloud technologies addresses evolving needs for scalability, redundancy, and elasticity. The implementation of an intent-based approach accelerates new service implementation, promotes reusability, and simplifies configuration and maintenance. Our solution is grounded in TM Forum standards and ensures seamless interoperability across applications through Open APIs.
Areas of exploration:
-
Cutting-edge order orchestration and processing engine that operates on multiple layers to efficiently provision and fulfill orders in B2C, B2B2C, and B2B.
-
Visual configuration of orchestration flows based on a low/no-code approach.
-
Leveraging cloud technologies to meet the modern operator's scalability, redundancy, and elasticity expectations.
-
Adopting an intent-based approach in all layers, seamlessly translating and executing consumer, service, and network intents throughout the process.
-
Support true vendor and technology-agnostic solutions to facilitate adopting emerging technologies while accommodating legacy technologies and systems.
-
Built-in transaction support to leverage the benefits of new and emerging transition-based network technologies like NETCONF/YANG.
-
Promoting reusability of flows and processes by offering clear separation between layers and intents.
-
Designed in alignment with TM Forum standards to meet the demand for seamless interoperability between applications and integration via TM Forum Open APIs.
This project is closely connected to specific TM Forum domains and associated API specifications, including:
-
TMF622 Product Ordering
-
TMF641 Service Ordering
-
TMF652 Resource Ordering
-
TMF640 Service Activation
-
TMF702 Resource Activation and Configuration
In summary, we will support operators in the transition to cloud technologies and the adoption of TM Forum ODA by offering a cutting-edge order orchestration and service activation platform that meets industry requirements for standardization, scalability, flexibility, and robustness.
We believe that an intent-based approach to order fulfillment, service, and resource activation will significantly simplify the introduction of new product offerings and consumer services, as well as the adoption of new transaction-based technologies such as NETCONF/YANG. By promoting reusability across all layers, the time-to-market can be shortened while also reducing maintenance and operation costs.
