4. Focus of UNICA is both internal and external consumption of APIs, through BlueVia parts of
the UNICA API is exposed to third parties.
7. This is the basic API package – REST/JSON based to make it easy for internal developers
8. A question asked is should the APIs from the network be standardized as when TEF asked
for UNICA to be implemented its expensive. Its unclear given the limited competition
whether any cost saving can be achieved through standardization. All network equipment
should have API interfaces that expose the richness of network platform, not just what can
be agreed in a standards meeting.
9. As APIs become the dominant way systems interconnect within telcos, increased focus on
performance.
14. Traditionally there is a tight coupling between services and BOSS, which limits the ability to
bundle external services.
15. Traditionally there is a tight coupling between services and BOSS, which limits the ability to
bundle external services.
16. Example of using a ‘Product Representation’ to bring third party or simply independent
services within popular bundles. Here the example if Foreign Local Number, popular with
businesses.
17. So TEF can innovate faster and have the services easily accessed through the existing
systems.
18. Important step in both simplification, accelerating service innovation, and re-using all the
existing systems..
19. Market gave a good review of the practical API implementation issues.
39. Open source tools, defined process, efficient service creation at a fraction of the cost of using
the NEPs – example of breaking free and taking control.
40. Manfred gave what for me is one of the best Developer Engagement models I’ve seen – he
should be using this with an API developers want, not OneAPI
41. The is a great model, one of the best I’ve seen on developer engagement.
