ETOM and Enterprise Architect

[Bruce S Gruenbaum]

Hi all,

The company that I am working at is evaluating Enterprise Architect for use company wide. The company is in the telecommunications business and is particularly interested in using ETOM (Enhanced Telecommunications Operation Map) as the basis for its modelling.

I am interested to know if anyone is using EA with ETOM and whether there are available templates to support it?

Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,

I don't know ETOM, and I don't think it is supported out of the box by EA, but you can certainly create your own profile (and maybe MDG technology) to support it, just like BPMN, Archimate, SPEM,...

Thanks Geert.

I was kind of hoping someone else may already have done that work.

Hi Bruce,

TM Forum eTOM, SID and TAM (Reference Business Process, Information and Application Frameworks for the Telecomms industry) is available with Sparxsystems Enterprise Architect (I am not even sure Sparxians themselves are aware of this fact).

The solution you require exists as a product known as NGOSS Contract Factory (holds the blueprints) integrated with the open source AndroMDA for the generation of web services, Java EJB and SQL DDL scripts.

The last time I checked, the company, known as AutoMagicKB had a web site at http://amkb-ngoss.com

You may simply google the name of the company.

You may also obtain the TM Forum OSS through Java (OSS/J) on the Sun web site.

If all you want to do is educate yourself, contact Progress Software to download the DXI Browser (It has the SID installed).

kind regards

Segun
