The Third-Party Framework for the Service Delivery Platform (SDP) enables a service provider to centrally view their overall services portfolio for effective management and services segmentation. It enables service providers to fully maximize the benefits of using Web service standards to create efficiencies in the integration, provisioning, composition, and management of the various services that contribute to the customer experience. The Third-Party Framework consists of five main components: Access Gateway, Service Registration Interface, External Service Registry, Service Delivery Interface, and Service Creation Environment. The Third-Party Framework serves as a central platform that service providers can use to enable their internal services and external partners' services be registered, discovered, and invoked.
