6. Page 6 www.parlay.org @LIS Kickoff Meeting Introduction to Parlay 31 March 2005 The Parlay/OSA Value Chain The elements of the value chain are mutually dependent The value chain can also be thought of as a time-line. –Operators cannot deploy Parlay/OSA until there are platforms and gateways. –Enterprises need services ISVs Operators Service Providers Systems Integrators Telecom Vendors Technology Suppliers Enterprise Consumer One of the roles of the Parlay Group is to provide a forum where the different groups can meet to share information and experience –Parlay Operator Interest Group

7. Page 7 www.parlay.org @LIS Kickoff Meeting Introduction to Parlay 31 March 2005 The value of Open APIs For Network Operators(traditional and virtual) –Future-proof solution –Rapid time-to-revenue –Network agnostic solution –Platform independence and vendor interoperability –Application interoperability –Service evolution for IN – IP services –Easy service migration from 2G to 2.5G to 3G networks –Secure open architecture –Reduced costs and risks to expand business offering

8. Page 8 www.parlay.org @LIS Kickoff Meeting Introduction to Parlay 31 March 2005 The value of Open APIs For service providers : –Future-proof solution –Rapid time-to-revenue –Network agnostic solution –Enables compelling third-party services –Platform independence and vendor interoperability –Application interoperability –Reduced costs and risks to develop new services

9. Page 9 www.parlay.org @LIS Kickoff Meeting Introduction to Parlay 31 March 2005 The value of Open APIs For software developers/system integrators: –Network independent solutions –Industry standard platforms –Platform independent service execution –Standard development tools –Reduces need for specialized telecoms knowledge –Wider development community –Reduced costs and risks to develop new services

18. Page 18 www.parlay.org @LIS Kickoff Meeting Introduction to Parlay 31 March 2005 Conclusions Parlay/OSA is the open standard for bringing telecoms and IT together into one value chain: –Parlay provides a way for telecom operators to publish the capabilities of their networks to enable business applications. –There is value for businesses in augmenting IT applications with telecom capabilities, and there is value for operators by enabling this. –Parlay provides a smooth evolution path for operators, service providers and developers into next generation mobile, fixed and broadband network. –Parlay creates a global marketplace for telecoms enabled applications Interoperability testing provides a major value to Parlay members. –E.g. recent Parlay-ETSI Plugtest: IOT for the Parlay-X Web Services interface is attractive to operators, vendors and application developers, and realizes strong support for Telecoms Web Services for the entire value chain.
