The MDE product portfolio achieved conformance to a landmark 20 certified TM Forum defined Open APIs.

TM Forum created its Open API program to drive seamless connectivity, interoperability and portability across complex ecosystem services, ensuring that vendor products and services align with the industry’s best practices for digital transformation. Open API Conformance certification for suppliers verifies the successful implementation of Open APIs in commercial products with real-world deployments and is a recognized mark of quality and innovation.

TM Forum Open APIs have been widely adopted by the Telco industry’s IT practices as a standard interoperability method, with more than 640,000 downloads by 39,000 software developers from 2,500 organizations since launch. Mavenir was an early signatory of the Open API & Open Digital Architecture Manifesto, signaling its strong commitment to the design principles and essential standards required to enable a truly ‘plug and play’ set of technology capabilities, as outlined in TM Forum’s Open Digital Architecture.

He added: “Mavenir’s Open API approach is accelerating digital transformation and the deployment of next-generation services by our CSP customers, enabling more efficient, agile, and cost-effective operations by reducing the need for custom integration solutions and promoting vendor independence. By synergizing connected ecosystems of suppliers and developers and acting as a powerful catalyst to innovation, Open APIs are easing and future-proofing the adoption of new technology and simplifying integration beyond the telecom domain - delivering true digital enablement.”

Mavenir will be discussing the value of Open APIs at TM Forum’s upcoming DTW Ignite 2023 conference in Copenhagen.
