Mplify, formerly known as MEF, has advanced its efforts to automate service lifecycle orchestration by publishing a manifesto advocating for the adoption of its standardized application programming interfaces (APIs) among service providers. The Enterprise Leadership Council (ELC) of Mplify issued this document amid growing demands for automation between enterprises and service providers.

The manifesto addresses challenges faced by enterprises arising from increased Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads, distributed user bases, and security complexities. It calls for replacing manual workflows with machine-readable APIs to enable real-time automation between enterprise IT systems and service provider networks. Mplify highlights the necessity of coordinated automation across the entire network supply chain, from the enterprise edge through provider networks to cloud services, to meet operational requirements of digital connectivity.

Mplify’s standardized APIs focus on business and operational functions such as quoting, ordering, billing, inventory management, trouble ticketing, circuit impairment notifications, maintenance activities, performance monitoring, and cybersecurity alerts. The manifesto urges service providers to implement these APIs and participate in certification programs to ensure interoperability and lifecycle support within a Network as a Service (NaaS) model underpinned by Edge Resource Allocator (ERA) frameworks.

The organization recently secured approval for its Circuit Impairment & Maintenance (CIM) Service Application Programming Interface (API), marking the quickest standardization process in Mplify’s history. This API facilitates real-time identification of network faults and visibility into service performance, thereby enabling enhanced responsiveness in managing multi-provider network environments.

Sunil Khandekar, Chief Enterprise Development Officer at Mplify, said, “The approval of the CIM Service API demonstrates how quickly our ecosystem can move when enterprises and providers collaborate toward a shared goal. This is a clear signal that the industry is uniting behind open automation and standardized APIs to power the next era of NaaS.”

The manifesto reflects ongoing efforts to reinforce automation, interoperability, and performance transparency across global digital infrastructure by aligning enterprise and service provider processes through standardized APIs.
