TM Forum has launched its Open Digital Architecture (ODA) program as a common framework to replace traditional OSS/BSS silos to enable operators to respond with increased flexibility and automation.
ODA's overall architectural approach and design principles include componentization and containerization, open API-based architecture and intent-based management through closed-loop automation, AI and machine learning. This includes a suite of more than 50 Open APIs which TM Forum claims are in use today by over 600 companies worldwide, creating a comprehensive architecture blueprint.
MYCOM OSI, the leading independent provider of Assurance, Automation and Analytics solutions announced its full support for the TM Forum’s new Open Digital Architecture (ODA) program.
MYCOM OSI said it has played an active role in the development of the ODA principles and is at the forefront of incorporating them into its assurance, automation and analytics solutions for end-to-end hybrid (physical and virtual) telco cloud networks.
MYCOM OSI’s cloud-native solutions, incorporating ODA-aligned componentization with microservices and containers, closed-loop automation and Open APIs, are already deployed with leading CSPs in Europe and Asia, with an advanced AI/Machine Learning proof of concept project underway with a tier one US carrier.

The ODA is a starting pistol being fired by many hands joined together. It embraces a bold vision for completely zero-touch business operations – with no human intervention end-to-end – using the latest technologies including Artificial Intelligence.
Mounir Ladki, President and CTO, MYCOM OSI
Implementing a telco cloud is a fundamental enabler but CSPs must deliver dynamic, automated and efficient end-to-end assurance capabilities to be able to deliver on the promised consumer and enterprise digital service opportunities as they go through this transformation.
