Cable operator Unitymedia leverages APIs built on Anypoint Platform to modernize its IT infrastructure and better connect with partners<\/i><\/p>

SAN FRANCISCO AND FRANKFURT, Germany \u2013 October 24, 2019<\/b> \u2013 MuleSoft, provider of the leading platform for building application networks<\/a>, today announced at MuleSoft Summit Frankfurt that Unitymedia has been leveraging MuleSoft\u2019s Anypoint Platform\u2122 since 2018 to increase operational efficiency and better enable its partners to deliver improved customer experiences. Anypoint Platform allows Unitymedia to build an application network that connects different systems and data, including logistics, customer information, contract management, product and services. With an application network, Unitymedia\u2019s partners can easily and securely access the data using APIs to streamline processes and automate workflows, such as porting phone numbers.<\/p>

Headquartered in Cologne, Unitymedia is one of the leading cable network operators in Germany and a company of Vodafone Germany. Unitymedia reaches 13.1 million households in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg with its broadband cable services. In addition to offering cable TV services, Unitymedia is a leading provider of integrated triple play services \u2013 combining digital cable TV, broadband Internet and telephony.<\/p>

"In today’s digital world, speed is important, and we needed to optimize internal IT processes and operations to meet the needs of our internal stakeholders faster. Thanks to MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform, we were able to create reusable APIs to connect our systems within a very short timeframe," said Ulrich Irnich, CIO of Unitymedia.<\/p>

Through MuleSoft\u2019s Anypoint Platform, Unitymedia established an API-led approach to simplify and accelerate connectivity with its partners, further reducing the time-to-market of its products. The first API project was to better connect to one of its major channel partners. Prior to using MuleSoft, three different connections and interfaces were required, making it difficult to manage updates and changes in settings. Unitymedia built one single standardized connection with MuleSoft to replace the original three, improving the partner\u2019s experience and its delivery of services to end customers. With this reusable API in the application network, Unitymedia can now connect to other partners five times faster.<\/p>

"With MuleSoft, we\u2019ve now deployed 150 APIs that can be easily reused internally to build new business capabilities or by our partners to provide seamless experiences to customers," said Irnich. "As we continue to focus on innovation and technology to drive growth, Anypoint Platform will be foundational for us to increase speed and expand our business with existing and new partners through the power of connectivity.\u201d<\/p>
