1. TMF Open APIs @Infonova

2. What do Open APIs mean for our organization
API Standards are essential for all ecosystems and for all platform businesses.
They are a top priority for all of our clients and customers
Not only do we support Open APIs and API Standards, we are dedicated to promoting them and pushing for adoption across all service industries – not only communications
Consequently, we are:
Active as leaders in the TM Forum API Program
Do our best to implement the TM Forum API Standards in our products
Promote Open APIs in all projects we are involved in

3. Where are Open APIs being used in our Product
open APIs are implemented and constantly being enhanced throughout our Infonova R6 software in:
Northbound APIs addressing e.g. customer, onboarding, troubleTicket
Southbound APIs addressing e.g. order, activation and configuration
Several current and past TM Forum Catalyst Projects are using the Infonova R6 implementations of Open APIs:
MK:Smart (link – look for “Enabling the Smart City Digital Ecosystem”)
SmartLife: My Home, My City, My Planet – a DigiCopLife catalyst (link)

4. Benefits of using TMF Open APIs
open standard APIs are a key component of creating many platform business opportunities in the first place. No API – No ecosystem enablement!
Many projects have been accelerated significantly by eliminating API design and negotiating phases where API Standards – TM Forum and others – have been enforced.
