Within the LSO Framework, LSO Cantata APIs address the enterprise customer-to-business layer of business interactions with the service provider for delivered MEF standard services, like quoting, ordering, and product inventory. They support end-to-end automation and orchestration of digital services at the LSO Cantata Interface Reference Point in the LSO Reference Architecture.
LSO Cantata APIs combine product-agnostic business API functionalities with product payloads (data schema). For example, MEF 3.0 Carrier Ethernet services can be orchestrated using LSO Cantata and LSO Sonata APIs for full end-to-end service automation at the business layer of Carrier Ethernet services across multiple providers within a supply chain. This combination drastically accelerates an enterprise’s ability to access off-net business locations with robust, dynamic digital services, including connectivity and cybersecurity.
The related LSO Cantata SDK and standards themselves apply to a wide range of products and services.
Either standalone, or together with LSO Sonata APIs, LSO Cantata automates digital services end-to-end—from the subscriber through to the service provider and any partner operators.
LSO Cantata APIs support business automation of a wide range of MEF and non-MEF services, thus empowering the enterprise with frictionless access to digital services.
