The Enhanced Telecom Operations Map (or eTOM for short), which has been developed by the TeleManagement Forum, describes the enterprise processes re
7、quired by a service provider and analyse them to different levels of detail according to their significance and priority for the business. This business process approach has built on the concepts of Management Services and Functions in order to develop a framework for categorizing all the business a

M.3050/Suppl.2 (02/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommu
10、nication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assem
11、bly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology whic
12、h fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

27、n ITU-T Rec. M.3050.4. 5 Introduction 5.1 What need is being addressed? While eTOM is the global de facto Business Process Framework at the Enterprise Level for the Telecommunications Industry, specific process frameworks and good practice guides have also been developed for use between enterprises
28、in other industries, e.g., the Supply Chain Council, RosettaNet, Electronic Business XML (ebXML) process frameworks, and the Balanced Scorecard. This Supplement is part of a series of texts showing how the frameworks and best practices developed and used by other industry sectors can be used togethe
29、r with the eTOM Business Process Framework to provide a richer and more complete Enterprise Business Process Framework. This Supplement provides a definition of the taxonomy of B2B Transactions called the eTOM Public B2B Business Operations Map (ePBOM) and provides a taxonomy/content for the ICT ind
30、ustry equivalent to the RosettaNet Business Operations Map (BOM), and the proposed ebXML Repository. There is a need for an eTOM Public B2B BOM because no other B2B initiative has a sufficient scope to support the required range of end-to-end ICT processes encountered by enterprises implementing the
31、 eTOM. The RosettaNet and ebXML B2B Models both assume the use of a registry/repository as part of the mechanism for establishing trading partnership agreements. To achieve consistency and interoperability, it is necessary to have a proposal for such a repository to support ICT inter-enterprise proc
32、esses. This Supplement provides this initial proposal and may at some stage be taken over by another industry group such as the ITU-T, RosettaNet, ITU-T SG 4, OASIS; or some combination of them in conjunction with the TMF. ITU-T Rec. M.3050/Suppl.2 (02/2007) 3 5.2 ebXML repository model Figure 1 ebX
33、ML repository Figure 1 shows how enterprises use the ebXML Registry/Repository as part of the process for forming and operating automated Business Processes amongst themselves. However, there is an issue of how the Repository is created, and what is in it. The above figure shows a simplified view of
34、 the Repository usage: Step 1 comprises the creation of the Repository content by industry groups; Step 2 is the registration of an individual enterprise profile in the Registry/Repository which describes the capabilities that it can support; Step 3 is the formation of a specific Collaboration Proto
35、col Agreement (CPA) between a pair of enterprises; and Step 4 is the exchange of Business Documents as part of business transactions within a specific CPA. Steps 2 to 4 are described in some detail in b-GB921B. ebXML assumes that their core work will be extended to support vertical industry segments
36、. However, no specific arrangements have been put in place to achieve this goal. In the IT and software industries RosettaNet has extended these definitions, and has captured Business Transactions, and the Business Messages within its Partner Interchange Processes (PIP). It has captured the definiti
37、on of Business Entities through its Dictionary Structures and Dictionary Content. This taxonomy of Business Transactions PIPs is categorized by RosettaNet as a Business Operations Map (BOM). Currently no equivalent of the RosettaNet Business Operations Map has been created by the ICT industry. 4 ITU
38、-T Rec. M.3050/Suppl.2 (02/2007) This Supplement provides an initial TMF eTOM proposal for such an ICT B2B Business Operations Map. It is expected that this eTOM Public B2B BOM will be adopted by either the TMF on behalf of the ICT industry or by means of some collaboration amongst industry enterpri
39、ses such as the TMF, RosettaNet, OASIS, and ITU-T SG 4 (Global Telecom Data Dictionary). Clause 6 describes the proposal for this eTOM Public B2B Business Operations Map. References to existing functional proposals for Business Transactions based on RosettaNet and other standards such as ITU-T X.790
40、 are for information purposes. For many of these examples there are presumed transport protocols and information modelling notations, that may or may not be suitable for eTOM B2B purposes, when mainstream e-Business standards are to be used. b-GB921B discusses in more detail some of the issues aroun
41、d technology choices for B2B. 6 eTOM Public B2B Business Operations Map 6.1 Introduction This Supplement proposes eTOM Public B2B BOM descriptions to levels 0/1/2, and provides guidance on levels 3 and 4. This Supplement is regarded as indicative rather than definitive at this stage of industry deve
42、lopment of telecom B2B standardization. This breakdown is based on references to existing relevant standards from a range of bodies (see Bibliography). Some of these standards are stable with deployed implementation, and others are simply specifications. The stability of the individual Level 1/2 pro
43、cess proposals can be judged by whether they have been implemented or not. 6.2 Concepts The main focus of the eTOM Public B2B BOM work b-GB921B is to extend industry B2B Business Operations Map (BOM) to meet the requirements of ICT Value Chains b-TR148. A few points are worth re-emphasizing: The eTO
44、M Public B2B BOM is conceptually a repository that allows trading relationships to be established amongst Trading Partners that may, or may not, be using an internal process model based upon the eTOM Business Process Framework. It follows the RosettaNet Conceptual Model b-Rosetta. The B2B processes
45、are based upon defining public processes. B2B processes synchronize the internal processes of two different enterprises. The method of synchronization is based upon Business Transaction Activities concept from ebXML b-GB921B. The approach proposed is consistent with the current work in the major e-C
46、ommerce activities of the UN/CEFACT ebXML groups, RosettaNet, OAGIS CAM and nascent activities in the ITU-T: Unified Ordering Model; Global Telecommunications Data Dictionary (GTDD); and Telecommunications Markup Language (tML). ITU-T Rec. M.3050/Suppl.2 (02/2007) 5 6.3 eTOM Public B2B BOM Level 0 p
47、rocess area Operations This area of B2B processes is concerned with supporting the Operations vertical process groupings of the eTOM Business Process Framework b-GB921 v4.0. This has historically been the primary focus for automating B2B transactions since these processes are executing frequently an
48、d have high costs if they are performed manually. Moreover, automation of these B2B processes typically leads to improvements in service quality. The proposed breakdown of this process area is based upon the eTOM Business Process Framework vertical process groupings. Figure 2 eTOM Public B2B BOM ope
49、rations Level 0/1 B2B BOM fulfilment: This process grouping is concerned with all the B2B public process activities that are needed to inquire about a product or service; to order and confirm the product or service delivery; to track the status of the order; to modify the order at the request of the customer; to manage appointments where provisioning requires access to customer facilities; and to complete the ordering process by acceptance of the delivery, o
