Check out our TM Forum Catalyst project
The theme for this year’s Catalyst project is “Beyond Connectivity.” Microsoft, in partnership with Vodafone, Nokia, and CSG, is proud to share our project, Channels & markets. This project is designed to help telecommunication organizations to build new digital marketplaces. We believe that telecommunications are well-placed to use their geographic networks to combine connectivity and non-connectivity services. By using TM Forum open application programming interfaces (APIs) and tapping into the work of network standards defining organizations (SDOs) to incorporate partner and network services, products can be visualized, marketed, and deployed, helping to drive growth.
