LotusFlare, Inc. announced that it has signed an agreement with Deutsche Telekom to provide the underpinning platform for the advancement of Deutsche Telekom's API capability for its Group companies. Deutsche Telekom will employ LotusFlare DNO™ Cloud as the cloud-native commerce and monetization engine to enable the onboarding of developers, publication of API products, their purchase, metering, and billing.
