RSSTribold 3 is industry's first software application to achieve TM Forum Certification Mark for Information Framework (SID)
06 May 2009
Nice, France, 6th May 2009 – TRIBOLD 3™ has become the first enterprise software application to be awarded a TM Forum Certification Mark for the Forum’s Information Framework (SID). The certification recognizes the degree to which Tribold’s Enterprise Product Management (EPM) solution complies with the TM Forum’s Information Framework model, and therefore the ease with which TRIBOLD 3™ can be integrated into communications service provider (CSP) technical architectures, delivering lower cost implementation, reduced integration effort and alignment to a strategic data model. The Forum’s Information Framework embodies an extensive, flexible and widely proven model that defines business concepts, their characteristics and relationships, and describes these in an implementation independent manner.
Catherine Michel, Tribold founder and CTO, commented: “Naturally we are delighted that Tribold has been awarded TM Forum SID compliance certification. We’re focused on delivering rapid returns and business benefit to our customers and adhering to the SID can only assist in this aim.”
Keith Willetts, TM Forum Chairman and CEO, added: “Standards are all well and good in theory, but it is only when they are brought to life through real-world implementation that they truly mean something to business. Our TM Forum Certification Mark delivers certainty and predictability to CSPs and we congratulate Tribold on being the first company to be awarded the Mark.”
The Information Framework is a corner stone of TM Forum’s Solution Frameworks (NGOSS), providing the tools and language to model corporate data from the very highest level to specific inclusion in software solutions.
