Developer marketplace in 5 months

T-Mobile & LotusFlare for DevEdge

T-Mobile and LotusFlare partnered to create a digital marketplace for developers, DevEdge, in 5 months from concept to launch.

LotusFlare was chosen by T-Mobile based on earlier successful work in simplifying complex processes for new business lines.
T-Mobile DevEdge uses selected SaaS components of LotusFlare Digital Network Operator® (DNO™) Cloud, a cloud-native commerce and monetization platform that provides an all digital BSS for communications and media services providers.

Challenge

With DevEdge, T-Mobile set out to offer an easy-to-use self-service platform that supported a marketplace for advanced network services and 5G-enabled assets.

Solution

LotusFlare developed the optimal customer buying journey which, in turn, drove the capabilities required from the commerce and monetization components. LotusFlare used the SaaS components of its DNO™ Cloud.

LotusFlare Contextual Engagement – An easy-to-use platform where you can create and launch personalized campaigns in just a few clicks and track results in real time.
LotusFlare Product Catalog – Enables fast deployment of new offers and bundling digital communications services, popular content offerings and hardware, all in a single point of truth.
LotusFlare User Manager – Allows enterprises to efficiently manage their users and the information needed to identify and authenticate them.
LotusFlare Billing and Payments – Simplifies the billing and payment framework for the DevEdge user and T-Mobile.

Results

Reducing time-to-cash for digital services for T-Mobile, DevEdge manages the process of buying APIs, 5G-enabled services and assets and improves the customer purchase and support experience. DevEdge connects T-Mobile APIs and IoT services to enterprises and developers in a seamless way. The solution fully enables the 5G network and network provisioning systems to operate. LotusFlare and T-Mobile simplified the whole process for internal teams and more importantly, for customers – buying, using, receiving expert advice and engaging with T-Mobile network teams.

Now available: T-Mobile IoT Developer Kit

T-Mobile launched its first IoT Developer kit – now available on the industry-leading T-Mobile DevEdge marketplace.
