Automating Management Capabilities with Crowd Sourced APIs


Building on over 25 years of complex network management interfaces, TM Forum working with its members have crowd sourced a series of business management APIs to improve the ability to automate key management capabilities, using common APIs so that the industry can communicate more effectively across boundaries.  The increasingly complex multi-partner digital services value chain raises new challenges in terms of ensuring time-to-market, seamless management, cost-effectiveness and revenue sharing. 

TM Forum APIs are for developers and include specifications, reference implementations, postman, example code, sandbox and testing capabilities. 


What?
