MEMBERS IN ACTION
Shining a light on the people and companies driving innovation in our ecosystem.
This month’s highlights showcase how members are advancing automation, scalability, and ecosystem alignment through Mplify frameworks, bringing standardized NaaS to life in diverse, real-world deployments.
Scaling NaaS with Standardized Location Intelligence Connectbase is tackling telecom’s location chaos by standardizing how physical endpoints are identified and referenced across systems. Their Global Location ID (GLID), integrated with Mplify LSO APIs, eliminates ambiguity and enables scalable quoting, ordering, and fulfillment, unlocking automation across the NaaS ecosystem.
Modernizing Broadband with Scalable LSO APIs Telekom Deutschland is streamlining broadband service delivery across Germany’s complex market by adopting Mplify LSO APIs. Their dual-track approach balancing regulatory alignment and commercial agility shows how global standards can enable faster automation, even in highly fragmented environments.
Accelerating Automation with LSO API Certification Console Connect is the first provider to achieve Mplify’s LSO API Certification, proving that standardized APIs can replace costly one-off integrations. By testing four LSO Business APIs and launching an open-source Adaptor Tool, they’ve simplified onboarding, expanded partner reach, and set the stage for a federated, automation-ready ecosystem.
