Abstract
A system and method may provide standardized application programming interfaces that enable global entity-to-entity communications, such as to enable a process associated with one entity to access multiple systems at another entity. Some benefits of a global, standardized API-based entity-to-entity data exchange and integration platform include reduced cycle times by accelerating service delivery through automated and streamed data collection processes and an improved overall interface experience by embedding data collection processes into existing tools and improving accuracy by reducing manual data entry errors. For example, the standardized APIs may be used to generate a service request sent from a first service provider to a second service provider to ask the second service provider to provision a service to a customer of the first service provider.
