ODA Accelerator
The Concept
This project is designed to accelerate the creation of modular, componentized, cloud-native software to replace traditional BSS and OSS in line with the ODA principles and policies by creating the Reference Implementation(s) of the ODA Canvas, and associated services, on which ODA Components will run. The reference implementation will serve as the Industry Open Digital Lab for compliance testing components (for both portability and interoperability).
Value
The outcomes of Innovation Hub project will benefit the entire TM Forum membership, and the wider industry in several ways:
• 10 x efficiency and agility improvements
• Accelerate transformation to an AI Native Telco
• Improve customer experience through seamless integration and “zero touch, zero wait and zero trouble operations
• Enable operational efficiency and agility though automation. Integration of telco software moves from a manual project to full automation
• Security - core architecture implements Zero Trust, enabling reduced variance and greater collaboration on risk management
• Reduces technical debt – continuous upgrade of software systems through decoupled and modular interface contracts
• Dives simplicity – from hundreds of operations teams managing vertically integrated applications to a single SRE team.
Progress to date
We have a beta version of the ODA Canvas working in the lab with four working demos

Projects
New services
Developing services, tools, capabilities and a framework to manage fraudulent connectivity in a standardized way and exploring the possibility of creating a Routing Verification Service, in order to build real trust between service providers and their customers.
API Forge
API Forge is a pioneering initiative aimed at advancing the development of a comprehensive tooling and validation framework for Open API Specifications (OAS) and Async APIs. This project focuses on creating automated tools that streamline the validation of APIs, ensure schema conformance, and generate conformance test kits (RI/CTK) for both REST and Async APIs. By integrating these tools into TM Forum's existing infrastructure, the API Forge project sets a standard for API development, validation, and maintenance in telecoms and beyond.
GenAI/LLM - TM Forum AIVA
Developing TM Forum AIVA: a GenAI/LLM conversational search-solution capability simplifying and improving how members and visitors find relevant material digitally, with the creation of an architecture blueprint that outlines how GenAI technology can be seamlessly integrated into the Telco landscape (addressing challenges related to security, privacy, accuracy, performance, and scalability).
