In modern enterprise software, agility is king. Leonardo Hodgson explores the process of API-first design, and how it is bringing integrated solutions to market faster.
Building robust and scalable BSS/OSS solutions demands a strategic approach that goes beyond the usual methodologies to address the complexity inherent in today’s software architectures. On the path from telco to techco, the pace of change is rapid, and systems need to be adaptable to the changing requirements of your business and your users without compromising the software’s stability.
This is why API-first design, a paradigm shift from the traditional “functionality first, APIs later” approach, is a game-changer for CSPs. In this model, organisations design and develop feature-rich APIs before the rest of the application. This approach is gaining popularity among software teams because it offers multiple benefits and allows for the creation of consistent and reusable APIs that can be consumed by multiple client and partner applications.
