ITU-T M.3190 PDF

This Recommendation is an introduction to the TM Forum SID analysis model and a specification through reference of the ITU-T subset of SID. The SID analysis model scope covers all of the information required to implement use cases based on the eTOM processes [ITU-T M.3050.x]; in effect, this means that the SID covers a large proportion of the information needs for a service provider. However, the SID is still being developed and while the documents available today cover a substantial part of a service provider's core information needs, they do not cover all of them.

The SID analysis model is implementation independent, focusing on what the information is and what its relationships are, not on how these are to be implemented.

The SID applies primarily to service providers' businesses and engaged stakeholders: system integrators (SI), independent software vendors (ISV) and network equipment providers (NEP).

Parts of the SID may also apply directly to, or be adaptable to, other non-Telco service provider enterprise businesses.

The focus of this Recommendation is the product and service business entities.
