TSK: Increasing the ROI of Your Investment in Standards
  • Telcordia® Standards Knowledgebase (TSK)
2
Standards are Vital… but Costly!

  • Dozens of standards bodies are shaping new technologies and services, especially in the areas of NGN, IPTV, Wireless, VoIP, Network Management and Optical Transmission


  • To be competitive, virtually all telecom companies participate in, or at least try to keep up with, the development of telecom technology standards
  • But with dozens of committees holding frequent worldwide meetings, expensive membership fees, escalating T&L expenses and limited standards budgets…

Employ a New Strategy
  • The TSK Web-based service:
    • Provides information and analysis on the latest developments in the major telecom standards bodies, including ITU-T Study Groups, ATIS Committees, IETF, OIF, IEEE and 3GPP
    • Provides web tools that let you quickly locate key issues in detailed TSK “meeting analysis” reports relating to IPTV, NGN, Wireless, Optical, Security, and Network Management


  • No need to know in advance which committees are working on which technologies!

TSK’s Value Propositions
  • TSK keeps you up-to-date on standards developments at committees you may not have time or staff to cover
    • The direct savings from being able to skip an occasional meeting pays for the annual cost of TSK in just a few months!
  • At the high-priority committees you do attend, TSK provides additional expert support to increase your company’s effectiveness in these important committees:
    • TSK keeps you informed about activities in multiple parallel working groups
    • TSK’s comprehensive meeting analysis reports arrive within days of meetings, and can be used in whole or in part within your company, allowing your experts to focus on their primary tasks, such as contribution writing and technical leadership.

  • Increase your ROI, lower your costs, and help your standards team match the effectiveness
    and coverage of a much larger team
