Value of TM Forum Open APIs across industry verticals
COVID 19 caused major shifts in business models nationally and internationally, with in some cases, devastating consequences and in other cases major opportunities for companies to transition towards demand-based strategies leveraging technology to establish and participate in digital platforms.
Hybrid- and cloud-based solutions with state-of-the-art API integration platforms are leading the race towards customer value, choice and convenience, holistically integrating propositions in line with customer demand. Philip Stander has been leading the transition to demand-based technology solutions over the last 20 years, enabling customers to right-size their technology platforms with ease of scale and unblocking the multiple obstacles organisations face today in terms agility and speed to market.
“Open APIs deliver interoperability between different vendor systems at the enterprise system integration layer and also enables channel aggregation at the customer engagement layer” indicates Philip Stander. This interoperability can unlock the agility required by organisations in a world where Digitisation, Deregulation and Globalisation are now recognised as the new market forces that shifts and disrupts markets continuously. The establishment of an API-centric IT organisation enables rapid leveraging of IT assets at the process and experience layers of the organisation to deliver differentiation by using Systems of Record in unique new process and customer engagement patterns.
