Service providers are empowered to drive change in the OSS/BSS ecosystem if they collaborate and pool resources to address common issues and challenges.

To that end, TM Forum welcomes you to participate in the Prosspero Service Provider Roundtable—an invitation-only discussion about the use and direction of TM Forum standards, best practices and guidelines for the improvement and evolution of OSS/BSS.

Date: Monday, Nov. 17, 2008
Time: 5:00-7:00 pm, 7:00-8:00 pm reception
Place: Management World Orlando
Location: Rosen Shingle Creek Orlando


During the Roundtable, participants exchange ideas regarding:

• Trends affecting the direction of Prosspero, Interface Program and Collaboration Program
• Obstacles to overcome in a Service Provider-driven OSS/BSS ecosystem
• Reaching consensus on common goals

The Service Provider Roundtable includes an extensive Q&A period with TM Forum principals and representatives of Prosspero, TM Forum Interface Program and Collaboration Program.

Because the Roundtable is held in concert with Management World Orlando, service provider participants in Orlando will be immersed in an environment that addresses all facets of OSS/BSS-related technologies.
