From Network APIs to Real-World Value: GMS and Shabodi Join CPaaS Acceleration Alliance Talk

Network APIs are quickly moving from industry discussion to commercial reality, but technical readiness alone will not define success. For operators, the real opportunity lies in turning network capabilities into services that solve enterprise problems, create demand, and deliver measurable business value.

In an interview on the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance YouTube channel, David Vigar, Head of Innovation and Product at GMS, joins Surash Patel from Shabodi for a conversation moderated by Rob Kurver, Founding Partner of CPaaS Acceleration Alliance. Together, they discuss why the next phase of Network APIs adoption must focus not only on standards, interoperability, and exposure layers, but on customer needs, commercial execution, and scalable go-to-market models.

The discussion highlights the role of GMS and Shabodi in helping operators move beyond simply exposing APIs. This partnership points to the growing importance of orchestration, abstraction, aggregation, and enterprise enablement, making it easier for businesses to access network intelligence without navigating telecom complexity. By connecting operator assets such as identity, authentication, trusted relationships, regulatory alignment, and network intelligence to real enterprise outcomes, Network APIs can become practical tools for fraud prevention, smoother authentication, stronger customer trust, operational efficiency, and revenue growth.
