Open API Project
The increasingly complex multi-partner digital services value chain raises new challenges in terms of ensuring time-to-market, seamless management, cost-effectiveness and revenue sharing.
In order to meet these challenges, TM Forum members, including the world’s largest service providers and suppliers, have been working to develop Open APIs that enable the open digital ecosystem and provide critical management functionality to digital services.
