Scope of ONAP and TM Forum work TM Forum Scope Realization by TM Forum Member Companies ONAP Scope Customer Facing OSS/BSS Resource & Infrastructure Many companies have adopted TM Forum design principles, models and APIs for their OSS/BSS They also use TM Forum abstracted APIs for Hybrid infrastructure Mgmt. (Legacy, NFV, 5G ) To promote ONAP adoption, ease of integration with exiting & future operations systems is important. ONAP Refactors some traditional OSS & EMS functions to support virtualization and multi-vendor solutions. ONAP aims to support hybrid infrastructure, multi-cloud & multiple deployment flavors. 2017 TM Forum 5
