Generate new revenue by exposing internal functions and assets for third parties to use in their own applications

Many banking or telecommunications companies have launched their API exposure programs to give a broad group of developers access to internal operator functions to enrich their apps and generate new revenue streams.

Developers and consumers expect telecommunications services to be integrated into platforms, and especially with mobile devices. Some as obvious and widespread as Direct Carrier Billing, Form Filling or the display of functions of connected objects in operator IoT solutions. This functionality is especially critical to prevent other providers from occupying markets that may be operators’, such as banking companies or digital providers such as Google, Facebook, Apple or Amazon.

With Optare Solutions and ORACLE Communications Service Gatekeeper you can create the infrastructure to expose internal functions, and manage API exposure with all the necessary security guarantees in an operator.
