Introducing Telecoms Enterprise Information Modelling

This is the blog of Andrew McFadyen who has been an Enterprise Information Modeller for over 12 years. In it I will share some of my experiences in this field in general and examine the use, strength and weaknesses of the TeleManagement Forum's Shared Information/Data Model in particular.

I intend to discuss the following subjects over the next few posts

• Introducing the Shared Information Data Model (SID)
• Implementing SID
• Just what does SID mean by Customer Facing Service?
• SID’s Logical and Physical Resources
• The role of an Enterprise Data Model in Service Oriented Architecture
