The API can work. The business still has to.

WHY THIS "NETWORK APIS & OPEN GATEWAY" CHALLENGE?

Closing the gap between technical exposure and commercial scale

Operators can expose network and IT capabilities through standardized, developer-friendly APIs. But pilots do not create P&L on their own. Revenue depends on choosing demand-led use cases, packaging them for buyers, integrating exposure with BSS/OSS, managing partners and making adoption, service quality and unit economics visible.

Key benefits

Make every layer answer to a commercial outcome

Connect customer demand, product design, technical exposure and monetization so each API has a clear buyer, operating model and path to repeatable value.

Start with demand, not the catalogue

Select network capabilities around a recognizable customer need, a willing buyer and a clear route to value.

Turn standards into repeatable reach

Use CAMARA-aligned interfaces and consistent product definitions so developers can reuse services across networks and markets.

Connect exposure to monetization

Link the API layer with BSS/OSS, entitlement, charging, settlement and partner processes so consumption can become accountable revenue.

Scale what the evidence supports

Track discovery, activation, usage, service quality, cost to serve and margin, then invest behind the APIs that show commercial traction.

How NTT DATA helps

01

Use-case portfolio and economics

Prioritize customer moments where network capabilities can solve a specific problem, then define the buyer, value exchange, pricing logic and measures of commercial success.

Customer completes a mobile payment in a retail store supported by broadband and wireless connectivity, enabling digital transactions, inventory systems, and enhanced customer experiences.

02

API product and developer experience

Prioritize customer moments where network capabilities can solve a specific problem, then define the buyer, value exchange, pricing logic and measures of commercial success.

Network engineers monitor and optimize telecommunications infrastructure using real-time analytics, supporting service reliability, performance management, and secure broadband connectivity across enterprise networks.

03

Exposure and integration architecture

Connect the exposure layer with network functions, BSS/OSS, identity, policy, event brokering and observability so the service can operate end to end.

Fiber-optic cabling and network equipment interconnect edge computing and telecommunications systems, enabling high-capacity data transport, low-latency services, and scalable digital infrastructure.

04

Ecosystem and go-to-market activation

Define partner roles, channels, commercial agreements and vertical propositions that take APIs into real customer workflows.

Technician managing fiber-optic connections and network infrastructure in a telecommunications facility, supporting high-capacity broadband, data transport, and reliable digital service delivery.

05

Service assurance and continuous scaling

Govern security, consent, performance, usage and economics; use operational and commercial evidence to improve the portfolio and expand what works.

Engineers configure connected vehicle equipment near a 5G network site, supporting real-time data exchange, autonomous driving development, and advanced mobility testing.

Urban mobility hub supported by 5G infrastructure, connecting public transit, shared transportation, and digital travel services to enable seamless, data-driven movement across the city.

Proven impact

The real milestone is repeatable consumption

A pilot proves that an API call works. An API business proves that customers adopt it, services perform as promised and every transaction has accountable economics.

Results that matter

What the path from pilot to P&L should make measurable.

Progress becomes visible across the full journey, from use-case selection and developer onboarding to paid consumption, service performance and unit economics.

A shorter path from use case to launch

Reuse product definitions, onboarding journeys and integration patterns instead of rebuilding the commercial and technical model for every pilot.

Broader reach through interoperability

Give developers a more consistent way to consume network capabilities across operators, regions and partner channels.

Commercial control at transaction level

Connect usage, service performance, charging and settlement so leaders can see which APIs create value and where economics break down.

Confidence to scale the right services

Move funding toward propositions with proven activation, repeat usage and viable cost to serve, while retiring experiments that do not convert.
