Assessing CSPs' progress towards an open digital architecture
TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture (ODA) is a set of tools, processes and guidelines to plan, design, build and operate an architecture for a cloud-native telco. The ultimate vision of the ODA is to create a plug-and-play environment for components that can be bought and sold in an online marketplace. But where are operators on the journey to implementing ODA and what are the challenges that still lie ahead?
This report looks at the drivers for open and composable architectures in the face of operators’ accumulation of complex legacy infrastructure. It sets out to gauge the progress made by communications service providers (CSPs) as well as possible barriers to implementation.
The report draws on research from in-depth interviews with senior industry executives as well as surveys of both operators and vendors. And it provides case studies of CSPs that have already implemented ODA in their operations and architectures.
Read this report to learn about:
- The origins of the ODA, its evolution, and its many different functional elements
- The benefits of, and business case for, openness, composability and transitioning to the ODA
- The operator journey to ODA adoption
- The impact of the ODA on vendors
- Practical examples of how CSPs are using ODA to deliver new and innovative services and streamline operations.
