Telecommunication Service Management
Hi there,
Telecommunication Service Management is called an 'Industry product'. The industry product leveraged from 'Horizontal Product'. Here, the Platform plays a vital role. The platform covers the CMDB, Omni Channels (Email, Virtual Agent, Mobile App ), and Agent Workspaces. The generic formula (Based on my own experience) to learn Telecommunication Service Management- TSM = ITSM + CSM + KM + FSM + Telco Knowledge.
Additionally, the following features are added to strengthen the Telco solutions. Telco products are highlighted with Telco codes and it start the prefix as TMF. It's a Telco API and supports to run E2E Service.
