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.

The LSO Adaptor Tool serves as a universal “travel adaptor” for the API ecosystem. Just as a travel adaptor allows your devices from Asia to seamlessly connect to power outlets in the U.S., the LSO Adaptor Tool is a low-code solution to bridge proprietary APIs with LSO Business APIs, enabling smooth, frictionless communication among carriers, cloud providers, and enterprises.

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.

The Solution

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.
