Roadmap Overview

The world doesn’t wait — neither do your customers.
The tSM roadmap is our commitment to help your teams move faster, decide smarter, and stay trusted as your services scale.

This page shares where we’re going (vision), what that means for you (outcomes), and how we ship (release rhythm). Details live in the topic pages; here we focus on the big picture.

Our Vision​

1) Intelligence, Everywhere​

AI shifts from a side tool to a first-class teammate in tSM:

  • You ask; the system understands context and answers in your language.
  • Insights explain themselves — “what changed, why it matters, what to do next.”
  • Predictions highlight risk and opportunity before you need to ask.

2) Builder Freedom, Enterprise Control​

We embrace the tools builders love while keeping enterprise rigor:

  • Work how you want (in-app or IDE), and ship with review, versioning, and guardrails.
  • Reuse patterns across teams; changes flow safely from dev → test → prod.
  • Complexity becomes configurable, not fragile.

3) Open by Design​

We align with TM Forum principles so you can integrate, swap, and grow:

  • Product, Service, and Assurance domains underpin how tSM connects.
  • Recognition (e.g., TMF Silver) is a checkpoint — the mission is real-world interoperability.

What Changes For You​

Near-Term (V2.4)​

Less friction, more flow.

  • Reporting and data handling feel ready on day one — teams spend time on decisions, not formatting.
  • Routine work gets shortcuts and polish; admins see who’s active and what changed.
  • Builders sync their configuration safely and collaborate like software teams already do.

Next (V2.5)​

AI becomes your co-pilot.

  • You describe what you need; designs, forms, and flows take shape — with guidance and checks.
  • Answers arrive inside the work: conversational reporting, dashboards that explain themselves.
  • Operations become proactive — the system nudges you before SLAs slip.

Horizon (Ongoing)​

From reactive to anticipatory operations.

  • Signals like churn or risk show up as first-class data you can filter, sort, and act on.
  • Integrations feel native — connecting systems is model once, reuse everywhere.
  • Recognition and alignment with industry standards deepen trust across your ecosystem.

The Themes (At a Glance)​

  • AI Smart Operations – A context-aware assistant and explainable insights where you work.
  • AI Assisted Development – From blank page to best practice with human-in-the-loop generation.
  • Process & Task Tools – Scheduling and reusable tasks treated as first-class citizens.
  • Reporting & Data Management – From static outputs to conversations with your data.
  • Security & Governance – SSO-first, encrypted sensitive fields, everything auditable and readable.
  • VS Code Extension – The control of an IDE with the knowledge of your platform.
  • TM Forum Alignment – Open principles that make tSM a good citizen in your landscape.

How We Ship​

tSM releases balance stability with momentum:

  • Patch — ~monthly / as needed (security immediate)
    Bug/security fixes and UX polish for the current version; tiny add-ons only if needed to support existing capability.
    Included in Product Maintenance Premium.

  • Minor — bi-annual
    New features and enhancements within existing modules, designed for backward-compatible, low-friction upgrades.
    Included in Product Maintenance Premium.

  • Major — no fixed cadence (strategic & customer-driven)
    New modules and step-change capabilities; may require deeper upgrade planning. Developed in parallel with minors; selective backports possible ahead of e.g. tSM 2.x.

A Word on Flexibility​

This roadmap shares our intent and direction. Timelines and content may change with customer priorities and product learning. For purchasing or planning, treat this as guidance — future items can be reprioritized, delayed, or adjusted at DataLite’s sole discretion.
