Video interview: Dr Wickramasinghe of Deutsche Telekom AG

During the Aduna Summit in Madrid, Dr. Chathurangi Wickramasinghe of Deutsche Telekom AG shared her view of the API market and what she is most excited about. She sees a strong momentum, especially on the identity APIs for fraud prevention and authentication, but also sees increased API demands from the customers to the market. She says we need to focus on and address the real customer demands and their pain points, globally, with multi-market approaches and reach. A lot of work has been done but there is more to do.

With regards to challenges, Dr. Wickramasinghe says the biggest challenge is about interoperability and global coverage. We need to ensure we build in APIs according to the CAMARA standard from day one, with a focus on time to market, speed and simplicity.

She explains that there are many opportunities. There is strong momentum because they see telcos positioning themselves as trusted player providers, and APIs as one of the core monetization pillars. This is a time where we really need to be solution focused. We create impact if we can address customer problems and show them faster return on investment. The main focus is all about the customers, 100%.
