ICYMI: Autonomous Networks (ANs) represent a transformative shift for communications service providers (CSPs), enabling them to operate more efficiently, deliver better customer experience and innovate rapidly. Over 60 of the world’s leading CSPs and technology ecosystem participants have signed the Autonomous Networks Manifesto. At our most recent event, #InnovateAsia we brought together Asia's change-makers and had candid discussions on specific challenges related to AI and AN. We explored the latest developments in AN and discovered the blueprint for progression towards Level 4 AN. We saw the launch of the Autonomous Networks Blueprint 6.0. The report outlines 20 high-value scenarios that will drive maximum operational and business impact while highlighting the crucial role that AI and GenAI will play in achieving L4 autonomy.

ICYMI: 2024 continued to see significant industry support and momentum for Open Digital Architecture (ODA), furthering our vision of making a truly interoperable and open ODA ecosystem a reality. At DTW - Ignite we announced a conformance certification program for ODA to accelerate the industry’s move away from monolithic, legacy IT stacks towards a more agile, horizontal, plug-and-play future. We also announced that 14 CSPs have now achieved Running On ODA Status, with many more implementing the blueprint to reignite growth . And in November, we partnered with Microsoft to announce that ODA Canvas blueprints and configuration code for Microsoft Azure were available as open source on GitHub, enabling Communications Service Providers of all sizes to quickly and easily build a carrier-grade ODA Canvas on Microsoft Azure using pre-built modules. Next year is going to be a big year for the ODA canvas - watch this space! Read the full Microsoft ODA Canvas press release to find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehCwVe2J

Happy New Year, everyone from all of us at TM Forum! 🌟 🎉 May this year bring you success, prosperity, and many wonderful opportunities. Thank you for your continued support. Here’s to a fabulous year ahead!

With CSPs exploring new growth areas like IoT, B2B, AI, and network APIs, it is essential to rethink how charging is delivered. To stay competitive, CSPs must view charging more strategically as a flexible capability to monetize mobile network resources and functionalities, driving both revenue and customer experience.
