LSO Adaptor Tool

The LSO Adaptor Tool is a powerful open-source API and schema mapping tool developed and contributed by Mplify (formerly MEF) member, Console Connect; it enables service providers with proprietary APIs to interact with industry standard Mplify LSO Business APIs, dramatically expanding their ability to connect and transact with LSO-conformant partners. 

By enabling mapping between disparate API frameworks, the tool allows service providers and technology partners to integrate without the need for a complete overhaul of existing operational APIs.

What is the LSO Adaptor Tool? 

• A low-code API mapping solution.
• Its core is an API mapping engine that translates between Source and Target APIs with totally different data structures
• The engine effectively acts as a bridge that allows disparate APIs to communicate effectively and seamlessly.

What Does the LSO Adaptor Tool Solve? 

• Eliminates API Silos: Converts legacy or proprietary APIs into MEF LSO-compliant APIs (like translating a 3-pin plug to a 2-pin socket).
• Automates Inter-Carrier Processes: Streamlines quoting, ordering, billing, and service management between partners.
• Supports Critical Services:
  • Datacenter-to-cloud connectivity
  • Multi-cloud/SD-WAN integration
  • Layer 2/3 Ethernet & IP-VPN services

Key Benefits

• Simplified API Integration: Reduces development effort by abstracting the complexity of different API structures, offering a plug-and-play model.
• Enhanced Interoperability: Aligns existing APIs with MEF LSO API standards without disrupting current workloads, ensuring compatibility across systems.
• Flexibility and Scalability: Supports a wide range of API mappings and configurations to meet evolving business and network requirements.
