ARIS Telecom Reference Model:

Leverage the TM Forum Solutions Framework.

The TM Forum’s Frameworx Integrated Business Architecture provides an industry service-oriented approach for rationalizing operational IT, processes and systems.

The ARIS Telecom Reference Model provides detailed ARIS models of these key Frameworx components:

• Business Process Framework (eTOM)—the industry's common process architecture for business and functional processes
• Information Framework (SID)—providing a common reference model for enterprise information used by service providers, software providers and integrators to describe management information
• Application Framework (TAM)—providing a common language between service providers and suppliers to describe systems and their functions as well as group them

Use the reference model to:

• Document, analyze and implement a telecom or service provider business
• Analyze and redesign business processes
• Develop standard solutions and interfaces
• Manage procurement and supplier relations
• Significantly reduce operational costs and improve business agility

Avoid starting from scratch. Use this comprehensive toolkit, instead, that adapts easily to your unique requirements.
