APIs – The Foundation of the Future Connected TelcoWSO2
The role of the Telco is rapidly moving away from traditional business models and focus areas towards a holistic, end-to-end solution provider for all aspects of the connected business. APIs are the fundamental building blocks for this new telco revolution; be it a singular identity model verified by the telco, a global set of telco API standards such as GSMA OneAPI, or a set of services exposed by Internet of Things style devices, API monetisation is fast becoming the business of choice for telcos. This also leads to massive collaboration between telcos, partners, stakeholders and the long tail.
With the right building blocks, federation models, global standards and ultimately APIs, a mobile developer can now build apps that work with telcos and across telcos, covering the entire globe. In this session, Director - Solutions Architecture at WSO2, Mifan Careem looked at how telcos can accelerate their digital strategies by building an effective Developer API ecosystem that encourages participatory business models leading to APIs as the currency for a digital economy.
The session was presented at APIdays Sydney 2015.
Chet Kapoor's opening keynote address at I Love APIs London 2016. Like the three industrial revolutions before it, the fourth brings technology advances and culture change as people adapt to live and work in new ways. The promise is huge and the need to move fast and adapt quickly to change is paramount.
CXTech Landscape Across Asia by Alan Quayle for TADSummit Asia 2020Alan Quayle
CXTech Landscape Across Asia by Alan Quayle, with the support of hundreds of people across CXTech
The main updated include:
Added another 200+ companies (bottoms-up analysis)
Expanded list of global VoIP providers and CXTech companies
Expanded list of master agents and distributors (mainly North America, international TBC)
Added channel and telco contributions to the revenues
Updated projections to include global recession for H2 2020 and H1 2021.
Most collaboration providers are not impacted – slight acceleration for some
Call center is initially not impacted, slight downturn in H1 2021
Usage based businesses impacted in H2 2020, e.g. CPaaS.
Will update downturn model as company results get announced through 2020.
Added regionalization of revenues (simple Americas, EMEA, Asia split)
Below I show the gap for Asia on CXTech earnings for CPaaS. In the presentation you can also see the gap for enterprise VoIP, particularly for innovative smaller providers. Put simply, revenue earned in Asia is going to North America.
Hence why for TADSummit Asia 2020 we're trying to help close the gap through:

Supercharging CPaaS Growth & Margins with Identity and Authentication
Aditya Khurjekar, GM Prove Protocol
Mobile networks were designed for communication, yet commerce is driving most of the demand for mobile connectivity today
The growth segments in today’s digital economy benefit from CPaaS APIs for Identity verification, authentication, proofs & claims
Commerce-enabling CPaaS APIs rely on the intrinsic security of mobile network and devices
Deterministic (rather than probabilistic) authentication drastically reduces fraud, hence increases margins
The secure element in mobile devices has been under-utilized by carriers
FIDO standard presents a horizontal application opportunity for hardware based (deterministic) authentication
Authenticated ID verification is key to secure yet seamless digital onboarding, leading to financial inclusion & consumer protection
The needs of the new crypto-based (web3) economy can also be satisfied with smart CPaaS offerings that preserve anonymity/pseudonymity
The imminent ubiquity of eSIMs is timely to fight fraud in the increasingly sophisticated digital & crypto-enabled economy
It’s time for a purpose-built global payments network!

CPaaS Conversational Platforms and Conversational Customer Service – The Experience Gap”?
Ben Waymark, Chief Technology Officer, Webio.
CPaaS players are doing the low hanging, simple conversations via their conversational design and plug in’s to the messenger layer, but what are they really hoping to achieve, and should they be aimed at the developer community?
No-code low-code configurable conversational customer support have done really well by integrating with customer ticketing, and integrating other platforms into their workflows. Kustomer.com was bought for a billion, something is going right there.
Conversational experiences are becoming part of the digital customer experience. What does this look like and why might this be important for other companies to understand?

Time to ditch the ‘dumb-pipe’ – reinventing the core mobile network, to put developers first.
Mike Bromwich, CEO / Co-Founder Stacuity & Tim Dowling, Co-Founder Stacuity
The emergence of public cloud has revolutionized the way developers can muster and deploy virtual infrastructures, as and when required.
In contrast, mobile networks are still rigidly defined and protected by operators, who are unable or unwilling to offer such control and flexibility.
As a result, the mobile network operates as little more than a dumb-pipe (unless you have lots of patience and deep pockets).
Addressing this problem requires a different approach, not just the creation of a thin façade over legacy network elements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
6. APIs reduce business friction.
This means the value is not ‘in
the API’ it’s in the service or
data delivered through the API.
7. Mobile Application Developers
ONLY care about direct access to
a large engaged customer base
that is prepared to pay.
Apple and Android fulfill this
need, Telcos are IRRELEVANT
8. Revenue

APIs reduce business friction by making it easy for software systems to work together
using existing well understood web technology that any IT person can understand
12. Why do we need Telecom APIs?
Why do we need a
Web site?
1995
Of course we have
a Web site
2000
2005
New distribution
Accelerate internal projects
Upsell
Innovation
Why do we need
an API?
2010
Device and mobile support
Operational efficiency
Make churn harder
Extend products / services
Of course we have
an API
Increase footprint
Partner opportunities
Process automation
New business
Telecoms is the ‘vital spice’ of any successful business ecosystem
14. Where’s the Money in External APIs?
$244B by 2017
$157B by 2018
$18B in 2016
Mobile payments revenue, source BI
Intelligence. Includes Apple,
Android, Square, Visa Mobile, etc.
Total Telecom API revenue, source
Mind Commerce. Payment,
Communications, Identity, Cloud, etc.
Alan Quayle’s view is the revenues
will be $18B and dominated by
payment and communication service
revenues by 2016
Juniper predicts DCB (Direct Carrier
Billing) growing from $2.5B in 2012 to
$13B in 2017 (this assumes only digital
downloads, not goods and services)
15. What if a Telco does nothing?
Telco becomes the “path of last
resort” as apps use “easy and
economical” APIs for 90% of
comms
Easy and Economical 90%

18. Where are External Telco APIs going?
•
External Telecom API Roadmap
o
Payments: whether to expand beyond digital downloads
o
Communications: across all VAS not just calls – RCS, messaging,
number provision, WebRTC, etc.
•
Focus on building a businesses around the APIs rather than
publish and wishful thinking
o
Sales, marketing, business development and critically support
o
Traditional transition from tech-focus to business-focus
