It addresses a wide range of challenges brought about by market, business model and technology changes. And will enable service providers to deliver at speed, quickly respond to changes, simplify the building of partner ecosystems, strengthen and simplify the procurement process, support zero touch operations, and reduce total cost of ownership. The Open API project provides and maintains the Open API specifications for ODA. And develops the Open APIs architecture and principles in response to market, business, and technology changes |
