DMTF and TM Forum Seek Common Model for Enterprise/Telecom Management

The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), and TeleManagement Forum (TM Forum) will combine their information and modeling approaches to help support telecommunications/enterprise management convergence. The DMTF has developed an enterprise Common Information Model (CIM) for the exchange of management information in a platform-independent and technology-neutral way. The TM Forum's New Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS) is a framework for procuring and deploying operational and business support systems and software in the telecommunications environment. The two groups are now collectively working on the potential for integration of these shared information models to also support telecommunications / enterprise convergence.
