Strategic Direction

programs
• Coordinate/collaborate with other organizations where
appropriate

Challenges
Industry wide challenges for Mgt&Ops Standards development:
• Nexus of IT and Telecom (two dynamic environments)
• Focus on network/service specific aspects of Mgt&Ops
– Thus common aspects of Mgt&Ops are deemphasized
and work is highly distributed across many committees
and forums
• Distributed Mgt&Ops experts across many committees and
forums
– Given limited and distributed resources, selecting
essential standards gaps to work on with maximum
industry/member benefit, and coordinating across the
many forums is a challenge
5
Next Steps/Actions
• Complete currently defined work program
• Continue to support Mgt&Ops aspects of ATIS Board/TOPS
Council driven strategic work
• Continue with cross-organizational coordination and
collaboration
