TM Forum Article on Catalog Integration

Product Catalog and Product Lifecycle Management have been some topics I have been closely involved with the last 8 years. It started from developing a product catalogue for telecommunications for my company, Liberty Global, then driving initiatives like e-commerce from an architecture perspective and defining the product catalog and lifecycle management strategy for Liberty Global.

We decided to write an article at TM Forum with Lejla Pljevljak-Rasidagic from Zira about some ideas we have around catalog to catalog integratin. Going against the hype of enterprise product catalogues, we propose a more flexible approach where a catalogue to catalogue integration is a better model for the future of digital disruption and the multiple partners of an ecosystem.

Feel free to read the TM Forum article named "Is Catalog to Catalog Integration a better alternative to an Enterprise Catalog master?" and let me know your thoughts

Omnishop, an Omnichannel Commerce TM Forum Project

This year I drove a Catalyst Project with TM Forum called Omnishop - Memorable Shopping Moments in a Connected Digital World. I represented Liberty Global, as a champion of the project providing the service provider requirements and vision. Together with partner companies Infosys, IBM, Netcracker, Zira, Sigma, TMNS and ESRI we created a concept of a digital services framework that would enable a plug and play connection of the sales and e-commerce channels with the service provider ecosystem.
