At Lightstorm speed of innovation matters. Last year in Middle East we met MEF Forum executives who talked about MEF 3.0 Sonata Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) Sonata APIs which can help automate Network to Network Interface (NNI) between two service providers. 1. Address and Site Validation - (feasibility) 2. POQ (Product Offering Qualification) – (CPQ mapping) 3. Quote – get a quote for a product, or a POQ group 4. Order – order a product or a POQ group These 4 APIs are all that one needs to provide seamless customer experience and are globally used to accelerate B2B interactions between service providers. Today we have successfully integrated with Console Connect using these 4 APIs and we have increased our network footprint into 180 data centers across 10 countries. This is our friendly challenge to all the TSPs in India: if you are ready to expose these 4 API's we will integrate our world class Polarin Platform for on-demand customer service. https://lnkd.in/gBzSyrsp #WorldTelecommunicationDay #NAAS #MEFStandards #SonataAPIs #Automation
