Course Overview

This advanced programme provides a practical understanding of telecom service management and the eTOM framework as a structured approach to organising, governing, and improving telecommunications business and operational processes. The course examines how service providers can use eTOM principles to structure processes across customer management, service management, resource management, operations, fulfilment, assurance, billing, and enterprise management. It connects process architecture with service quality, operational efficiency, customer experience, and business performance. Participants will explore process relationships, roles, inputs and outputs, operational dependencies, performance measures, and governance mechanisms. Particular attention is given to applying eTOM concepts to real telecom operating environments rather than treating the framework as a theoretical process catalogue. The programme also addresses process improvement, service lifecycle management, cross-functional coordination, performance management, and the relationship between eTOM, OSS/BSS, automation, and modern digital telecom operations.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyse the role of service management within modern telecommunications operations.
  • Understand the structure, principles, and process domains of the eTOM framework.
  • Map telecom service processes across fulfilment, assurance, billing, and customer operations.
  • Analyse relationships between customer, service, resource, and enterprise processes.
  • Apply eTOM concepts to structure telecom operational processes.
  • Identify process ownership, inputs, outputs, dependencies, and handoffs.
  • Evaluate service management processes against operational and customer requirements.
  • Develop performance measures for telecom service and process management.
  • Identify process gaps, duplication, bottlenecks, and control weaknesses.
  • Improve cross-functional coordination between business, service, network, and support teams.
  • Connect eTOM process structures with OSS/BSS environments and automation initiatives.
  • Develop practical process improvement and service management plans.
