The evolution of SOA to embrace and deliver effective portfolios of APIs with more consistent information comes at just the right time to enable telcos to expose platforms – collections of APIs backed by network services and consistent data – while consuming APIs from OTT and other partners. The more flexible API architecture also speeds telcos’ ability to design and configure new subscriber services, especially when those services compose APIs from inside and outside the firm.
