Open Gateway is a GSMA-led telco industry initiative that aims to transform communications networks into platforms. This enables open telco capabilities in an interoperable, intuitive, and programmable way. We are a **technical team within the Product team at Open Gateway**. Our primary focus is to drive innovation and ensure seamless integration of Telco APIs by executing product Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and providing technical support for aggregator integrations (AWS, Azure, Google...). 1. **PoCs execution**: 1. We collaborate with product managers, developers, and external partners to identify and explore new ideas and use cases. 2. Our team designs and executes PoCs to validate the technical feasibility and business value of these concepts. 3. We rapidly develop prototypes that showcase the capabilities of our Telco APIs, providing a tangible demonstration of potential applications. 4. We collect feedback from PoC executions to assess performance, identify potential improvements, and refine the overall solution. 2. **Aggregator Integration support**: 1. Ensure technical alignment between Open Gateway APIs and partner systems, facilitating seamless integration. 2. Participate in planning sessions to understand integration objectives, timelines, and deliverables. 3. Document technical requirements from aggregators/channel partners like AWS and Azure. 4. We provide expert technical support during the integration process, addressing any challenges or issues that arise. 5. Help develop and test prototypes of co-created services and use cases, providing feedback and suggestions for improvements.
