917Ventures Taps Concati to Boost APIs

917Ventures, the venture builder of Globe Telecom, is collaborating with Bridge Alliance through Concati, its newest addition to its portfolio, as a channel partner for the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx), strengthening efforts to expand Application Programming Interface (API) accessibility and interoperability across multiple markets.

BAEx enables enterprises with multi-market telco API access through a single contract, a single integration, and a unified support system, unlocking new opportunities for digital transformation.
 
The collaboration enhances Concati’s position as an emerging API marketplace, providing seamless global access to telco capabilities for authentication, fraud prevention, connectivity solutions, and more.
 
Concati’s involvement in BAEx benefits developers, enterprises, and mobile network operators (MNOs) through simplified integration and streamlined processes, reducing time-to-market for new digital services.
 
Moreover, with access to key telco APIs such as Number Verification and SIM Swap Authentication, businesses can strengthen fraud prevention and user authentication, improving overall security and experience.
 
Concati’s role as a BAEx channel partner reinforces its commitment to providing scalable, interoperable solutions for enterprises navigating the API economy.
 
"We are excited to partner with Bridge Alliance to make it easier for enterprises, developers, and mobile network operators to tap into telco capabilities, helping them innovate faster and simplify complex processes," said Vince Yamat, Managing Director of 917Ventures, parent company of Concati and the tech innovation arm of Globe.
 
Boon Chee Loo, SVP, Roaming & Products at Bridge Alliance, emphasized the impact of the partnership: “Our collaboration with Concati aligns with our mission of making APIs more accessible and easier to integrate across multiple markets. By working together, we are driving the adoption of telco capabilities on a broader scale.”
 
The collaboration also supports the growing industry movement towards open APIs and interoperability, as seen in global initiatives like the GSMA Open Gateway.
