What is eTOM™?

 

eTOM is part of the Frameworx™ concept created by TM Forum – largest organization of telecommunication service providers and suppliers and partners in the world

 

  • Create a common language for use across departments, systems, external partners and suppliers, reducing cost and risk of system implementation, integration and procurement
  • Adopt a standard structure, terminology and classification scheme for business processes to simplify internal operations and maximize opportunities to partner within and across industries
  • Apply disciplined and consistent business process development enterprise-wide, allowing for cross-organizational reuse
  • Understand, design, develop and manage IT applications in terms of business process requirements so applications will better meet business needs
  • Create consistent and high-quality end-to-end process flows, eliminating gaps and duplications
  • Identify opportunities for cost and performance improvement through re-use of existing processes and systems

 

 

eTOM Benefits

 

The eTOM framework provides the following benefits:

  • Provides a consistent model for all Telco processes.
  • Identifies marketing and customer interaction processes to reflect their heightened importance in the e-business world.
  • Helps Telecom to focus on customers by bringing together Fulfillment, Assurance & Billing (FAB) operations - the core elements of effective & efficient customer service provisioning and delivery with all revenue and collection aspects.
  • Defines an Operations Support & Readiness vertical process grouping, which relates to all the Operations functional layers, from customer support to core telecommunication resource management. Integrating e-business and making customer self-management a reality, the enterprise has to understand the processes it needs to enable direct online customer operations support and customer self-management.
  • Acknowledges the need to manage resources across technologies (application, computing and network) by integrating the Network and Systems Management functional process into Resource Management & Operations. It also moves the management of IT into this functional layer as opposed to having a separate process grouping.
  • Maps out new processes – like security or spectrum capacity management – that are necessary for Telco modernisation.
  • Identifies the complete set of Enterprise Management processes that provide back office foundation and governance for effective Telco company functioning.
  • Clearly communicates the common operations model, so that everyone in the enterprise is able to identify their critical processes, thereby enabling process framework acceptance and alignment across the enterprise.
