Telecom APIs Getting Back to Basics

DESCRIPTION

Telecom APIs Back to Basics... Speaking Session featuring from Telecom APIs, Ross Garrett, Director of Product Marketing, Layer 7 Telco’s have become distracted by the promise of success from open developer ecosystems, and mis-guided API monetization strategies. In this presentation, we will take a fresh look at the importance and utility of APIs and opportunities that an API-Oriented Architecture provides. As other industries re-make themselves as modern software-defined businesses, so too must the modern Telco embrace APIs, turning their network into a platform that supports agility and innovation.

• Every layer from application to infrastructure is service enabled

• API Management (not standards) is the universal abstraction layer

• APIs lead a new Service Delivery paradigm
