Summary

ITU-T Recs M.3050.x series contain a reference framework for categorizing the business activities that a service provider will use. The Enhanced Telecom Operations Map (or eTOM for short), which has been developed by the TeleManagement Forum, describes the enterprise processes required 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 activities.

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 industry equivalent to the RosettaNet Business Operations Map (BOM), and the proposed ebXML Repository.
