ESPOO, FINLAND-- September 20, 2022 -- Tecnotree, a leading global Digital Transformation Partner for the Telecom Industry, is the first non-telco to be certified for real-world open API implementation on the leader board for TM Forum Open API Conformance. The certifications were carried out jointly with MTN in live operations within the MTN environment and demonstrated the successful implementation of Open APIs in commercial products and real-world deployments. Alignment to industry standards and best practices have been a part of Tecnotree’s DNA and its Digital Transformation strategy and proves Tecnotree’s commitment to industry standards, customers, and partner ecosystems. This landmark achievement makes Tecnotree the first Digital Platform Company among a list of CSPs like Verizon, Bell, and JIO, for certified real-world open API implementation.

Tecnotree’s Digital Platform powered with Open APIs using Open Digital Architecture enables quick and flexible integration to transform telecom business and operation models that extends beyond connectivity to monetise platform-based business models and partner ecosystems across verticals.

“We congratulate Tecnotree for being the first non-telco to achieve real-world certification for Open APIs deployed in live operation with MTN,” commented George Glass, CTO of TM Forum. “This is a path-breaking move by a software solutions provider and reaffirms Tecnotree’s commitment to open standards and their investment in next-generation product modernization.
