How Industry Participation Can Benefit You
GR Participation is Open to All
With the inception of TA96, industry-wide generic requirements from non-accredited organizations such as Telcordia are to be established through processes that are open to funding and participation by all interested parties. Telcordia engineers manage and direct a project from conception to completion, with the input from funding participants as the main driver.
Benefits to Funding Participants
A company that participates in the development of a Telcordia GR document can benefit in the following ways. The participants can:
- Influence the technical content of the GR through contributions, comments, and participation in the GR-development meetings
- Work with other industry leaders to discuss their business needs and the solutions to satisfy them
- Gain a decision-making and voting role in resolving technical issues and any associated disputes related to the GR content; impact worldwide business procedures and deployment strategies through their input
- Gain earlier access to requirements information and trends as they evolve, and before general publication to the industry, which can improve time-to-market
- Receive an Enterprise License for document deliverables
