Vendor Adoption Assessment Introduction

Overview
This survey is the fourth iteration of the Vendor Adoption Assessment survey, updated for 2021. Previous results can be found on the TM Forum website HERE. This update includes new Open APIs developed by TM Forum’s Open API collaboration project.

We use the survey: 
  • to publish a bi-annual report which includes a series of anonymized charts showing the trends and levels of Open API adoption in the market. The results are shown alongside the companion communications service provider (CSP) Adoption Assessment Survey.
  • to produce custom reports* for participating vendors to show their relative position in the market (participant results anonymized).
  • for signees of the Open API and Open Digital Architecture Manifestos to show their level of current or intended use of the Open APIs. This allows us to validate their commitment to the Manifesto before adding their logo to the website.
