APIO - Netaxis

APIO: API orchestrator

The Netaxis API Orchestrator facilitates the translation of business and marketing-oriented logic into scripts interfaced through APIs with network elements in operator networks. By making it easy to implement and operate feature requirements, APIO reduces costs and time to market.

APIO framework is a first step towards a scriptable mediation system between business logic and the various technical actions that are needed to implement it.
