Committee Note Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01

12 September 2011

Specification Overview:

This document describes the Field Force Management Integration Interface  
(FFMII) business drivers, business use cases, and high level features  
requirements. 

TC Description:

The OASIS FFM TC addresses the data use and integration challenges faced by  
enterprises that deploy large field staffs to deliver services to customers.  
FFM TC members define a standard integration interface for use in relaying  
field work requests between centralized planning and field communication  
systems. Principal use cases include field work request dispatching and the  
reliable and scalable collection of data from the field. FFM is designed for  
use in products that support communication between field work operations and  
central data stores such as CRM contact info, job ticketing, inventory and  
accounting systems, installation records, etc. 

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 26 October 2011 and ends 10 November 2011. 

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from  
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the  
sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
