TM Forum’s NGOSS, or New Generation Operations Systems and Software, delivers a toolkit to guide the development of OSS/BSS systems and defines a strategic direction for a more standardized OSS marketplace. A key component of NGOSS is the TMF Information Framework, commonly known as the SID, the Shared Information/Data Model. Application Integration Using the SID provides detailed, step-by-step guidance on scoping, analyzing and designing OSS/BSS integration projects that leverage NGOSS frameworks and integration tools for data interoperability. Application Integration Using the SID is the first SID-oriented book to provide an introduction to application integration frameworks and describe how to use the SID within that context. Topics covered · Clear insight into the role of the SID in enabling data interoperability · Actionable guidelines for SID-related project scoping · Crisp requirements for data integration tool and platform evaluation · Relevant case studies illustrating the above topics.
