TM Forum said top suppliers are seeing unprecedented demand for its Frameworx suite of standards and Frameworx Conformance Certification, an independent assessment of a product’s conformance to Frameworx.
Twenty companies have undergone Frameworx Conformance Certification for their products and solutions, including Hewlett-Packard, Huawei, IBM, Microsoft, Nokia Siemens Networks, Oracle and Tribold -- with almost 50 products and solutions earning certification since the program launched two years ago.
This is said to represent a critical mass of products and solutions that service providers can select which are demonstrably conformant to Frameworx.
Because over 80% of leading global service providers already uses Frameworx, suppliers are facing unprecedented demand for products and solutions that are Frameworx Conformant in order to reduce the costs and risks associated with integration and the time and effort spent on procurement.
