Open APIs

Alcatel-Lucent's open APIs are accessible to every developer: just register online as an Open Developer. The open APIs are mainly Alcatel-Lucent XML Web services.

STANDARDS-BASED

Alcatel-Lucent XML Web services are compliant with XML specifications issued by the World Wide Web Consortium. Developers will find that these interfaces are familiar to them and can easily be integrated into new or existing Web environments.

SERVICES-ORIENTED

With these APIs, the developer does not need to have expertise in traditional telephony APIs to create Web-based applications around Alcatel-Lucent platforms.

COHERENT

The suite provides a global API framework, enabling the developer to mix API families and increase the efficiency of his own application: during development and run time, the developer has a single infrastructure for registration and licensing, and can address a large number of users.

FEATURE-RICH

The API suite includes the key features of the entire range of enterprise solutions, including Alcatel-Lucent IP Touch, Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise, Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office and Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch Unified Communication.

This powerful suite of APIs enables developers to integrate Alcatel-Lucent's IP communications with their business applications, providing benefits that help to:

• Ease integration across heterogeneous vendor environments
• Reduce the time and complexity of interfacing
• Ease creation of new services and applications
• Reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) by minimizing installation time and administrative costs
