What is eTOM?
 “enhanced Telecom Operations Map”
 A business process framework:
 Reference framework for categorizing all the business activities that a
service provider will use.
 These activities can be combined in many different ways to implement
end-to-end business processes that deliver value for the customer and
the service provider.
 Not a business model:
 Does not address strategic issues or questions of who a service
provider’s target customers should be, what market segments should the
service provider serve, what are the service provider’s vision, mission,
etc.
 A business process framework is one part of the strategic business model
and business plan for a service provider.
