Vonage will provide SAP and its enterprise customers with access to its platform of network APIs, including Quality on Demand, Device Location and Number Verification.<br>&nbsp;<br>Both ventures build on the GSMA\u2019s Open Gateway initiative and highlight the importance of aggregators connecting different sides of the market. Strong participation from both operators and aggregators is also expected at the Infobip Shift developers\u2019 conference, which also includes planned Open Gateway activity from Nokia.
