defines the key elements, the linkages between these elements, the identification of interfaces, and the use of customer, service, resource, supplier/partner and other information by multiple processes. So, it creates a guidebook that is fast becoming the common business language of the telecom industry.

eTOM+
eTOM+ refers to IBM's telecom process service offering based on eTOM, and includes extensions to the eTOM model itself, as well methods, tools, guides and other collateral, for applying eTOM to yield business results
eTOM+ increase eTOM's effectiveness with telecom service providers and its ease of being operationalized, in the following ways:
Greater Detail By extending eTOM to levels 4, 5 and beyond for example, provides clients a more detailed framework for their process architectures; also included are process flows and other process constructs missing in eTOM Multi-Channel and Multi-Service View By factoring in variations due to channels, services, and networks, eTOM+ more accurately reflects the complex nature of the telecom business. Terminology and Modeling Customers are frequently stymied by eTOM language not being intuitive or Process Storyboard Language Process storyboarding helps clients get "the big picture" of process & IT interactions across the enterprise. Method, Data & Tools As we all know, the business value is not in the eTOM picture, but in the consulting based on it. Business + SOA + IT Provides framework for integrating process, applications and data for an SOA-based transformation Benefits & Capabilities Mapping Layering the framework with common capabilities and KPIs increase the usefulness of the model.
