AT&T Using APIs to Create a Channel in the Cloud | Bridge Metrics. One of the primary attributes of cloud computing is to allow customers to service their own IT needs. But when those customers are actually your channel partners you need to find the most frictionless way to partner with each other. In the case of AT&T that means turning the entire company into a platform through which interactions and transactions are increasingly automated via a standard set of application programming interfaces (APIs). Speaking at the recent API Strategy and Practice conference in New York, Laura Merling, vice president of ecosystems and solutions at AT&T, described how AT&T plans to transform itself from essentially being a “black box” into an open platform that is transparent to all its business partners.
Known as AT&T Partner Exchange, this new AT&T program opens AT&T’s APIs to allow solution providers to develop their own customized solutions that leverage AT&T systems, processes, and tools. Merling admits this is a multi-year effort. T Opens the Innovation Doors to Solution Providers | AT. AT&T has gone all in with solution providers serving business customers.

AT&T details how the API program is a driver of speed in their innovation efforts: Technology forecast.
John Donovan, Sanjay Macwan, and Jacob Feinstein of AT&T detail how the API program is a driver of speed in their innovation efforts. Navigating the far-flung functional, organizational, and technical structure to bring new ideas to any large company can be slow and confounding. For a company the size of AT&T, this had the potential to create lengthy delays for developers seeking to test innovations against the network. Today, external innovators and developers access much of AT&T’s network and other capabilities in a self-service manner, allowing them to bring new offerings to market three times faster than before.
This new speed is central to AT&T’s innovation strategy. “If you have infrastructure assets and are going to operate at a pace at which the external market is moving, you have to take capabilities—industry-specific or not—and make platforms from them. The emphasis on speed extends beyond technology. APIs are the key Making AT&T addressable: Network as a platform.
