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 Executive Roundtable—an invitation-only discussion about the use of Prosspero-related interfaces in OSS/BSS implementations.

This roundtable is being held during Management World 2008 - Nice, France, May 19th, 5-7 pm, and is RSVP only.

During the Roundtable, participants exchange ideas regarding:

• Trends affecting the direction of Prosspero;
• Obstacles to overcome in an SP-driven OSS/BSS ecosystem;
• Reaching consensus on common goals.

Service Provider Roundtables include extensive Q&A periods with TM Forum principals and active members of the TM Forum Collaboration program.

Because the Roundtable is held in concert with Management World 2008, service provider participants in Nice France will be immersed in an environment that addresses all facets of OSS/BSS-related technologies.

Roundtable Agenda:

• Chairman - Service Provider roundtable goals;
• Service Provider Participants: presentation of experiences, goals, and issues;
• Moderated open discussion on issues raised by Participants;
• Networking Reception – drinks and mingling with colleagues to kick off your week.

Participants are encouraged to be active: please share your experiences!

To stimulate dialogue and promote problem-solving, TM Forum encourages participants to submit two slides reflecting their organizations’ goals, experiences, and challenges—particularly those relating to TM Forum technologies (i.e., OSS/J, mTOP, IPDR, and CO~OP). Though slides are not mandatory, they are greatly appreciated.

Slides should be sent to roundtable@tmforum.org by April 28, 2008.

To register, send an email to roundtable@tmforum.org. Please provide name, title, company name, and contact information by April 28, 2008. Please note this is an invitation-only event.

The TM Forum looks forward to seeing you at this premier event.

Best regards,
Martin Creaner, President, TM Forum
