1. Introduction to Parlay/OSA Michel Genette (Alcatel)
Member, Parlay Board of Directors
2. Agenda:
3. The Parlay Group and the Industry
4. Parlay: Bringing Telecoms and IT together
5. OSA Parlay/Parlay-X Proposition
6. The Parlay/OSA Value Chain The elements of the value chain are mutually dependent
The value chain can also be thought of as a time-line.
Operators cannot deploy Parlay/OSA until there are platforms and gateways.
Enterprises need services
7. The value of Open APIs For Network Operators(traditional and virtual)
Future-proof solution
Rapid time-to-revenue
Network agnostic solution
Platform independence and vendor interoperability
Application interoperability
Service evolution for IN – IP services
Easy service migration from 2G to 2.5G to 3G networks
Secure open architecture
Reduced costs and risks to expand business offering
8. The value of Open APIs For service providers:
Future-proof solution
Rapid time-to-revenue
Network agnostic solution
Enables compelling third-party services
Platform independence and vendor interoperability
Application interoperability
Reduced costs and risks to develop new services
9. The value of Open APIs For software developers/system integrators:
Network independent solutions
Industry standard platforms
Platform independent service execution
Standard development tools
Reduces need for specialized telecoms knowledge
Wider development community
Reduced costs and risks to develop new services
10. Summary of the Parlay APIs Parlay APIs, set of highly functional APIs
For professional software developers, who are programming in C++ or Java
Defined in UML
CORBA IDL mapping included in specifications
Parlay Java Rulebook describes how to map the Parlay APIs into Java
Parlay Web Services, mapping of the Parlay APIs into WSDL
For vendors who want to use Web Services technology (and tools) as an alternative to CORBA/IDL
Parlay-X, a high level / simple / abstract / easy-to-use API
For web developers and users of scripting languages (eg JavaScript)

Interoperability testing of Parlay X 1.0 and 2.0 with respect to Third Party Call, Call Notification, Short Messaging, Multimedia Messaging, Payment, Account Management, Terminal Status, Terminal Location, Call Handling, Audio Call, Multimedia Conference, Address List Management and Presence.
ETSI Parlay Plugtest(s)
18. Conclusions Parlay/OSA is the open standard for bringing telecoms and IT together into one value chain:
Parlay provides a way for telecom operators to publish the capabilities of their networks to enable business applications.
There is value for businesses in augmenting IT applications with telecom capabilities, and there is value for operators by enabling this.
Parlay provides a smooth evolution path for operators, service providers and developers into next generation mobile, fixed and broadband network.
Parlay creates a global marketplace for telecoms enabled applications
Interoperability testing provides a major value to Parlay members.
E.g. recent Parlay-ETSI Plugtest: IOT for the Parlay-X Web Services interface is attractive to operators, vendors and application developers, and realizes strong support for Telecoms Web Services for the entire value chain.
