Amartus is collaborating with global network providers to streamline Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) supply chains through its nBrace™ Open Standards B2B2X Network Automation suite. The suite addresses complex automation needs by integrating thousands of service components from multiple providers—spanning last-mile, transit, and edge networks, along with managed services like SD-WAN and SASE. Unlike single-provider solutions such as cloud or SaaS, NaaS requires providers to manage deployment and operation across diverse suppliers to deliver a seamless, self-service experience. With its focus on MEF LSO and TM Forum Open API standards, nBrace™ provides a robust framework to meet these needs while adhering to industry standards for interoperability.
Amartus says the decentralized architecture of nBrace™ enables network providers to operate with flexibility, onboarding suppliers without relying on proprietary marketplaces, and allowing providers to choose how they manage each supplier relationship. To enhance NaaS offerings, nBrace™ extends the entire lifecycle—Day 0 through Day 2—including operational processes like performance monitoring, trouble ticketing, and service inventory management. This full lifecycle support is critical for meeting enterprise customer expectations for self-service and real-time support. The suite’s open standards-based structure also minimizes the risk of vendor lock-in, giving providers more freedom in selecting their service delivery partners.
Amartus offers specialized solutions for different provider needs. Large providers with existing TM Forum Open API-based back-office systems gain rapid integration for MEF LSO APIs through nBrace™. ServiceNow users, who can access nBrace™’s MEF LSO Trouble Ticketing API, benefit from Amartus’s official partnership with ServiceNow for streamlined trouble ticketing integration. For smaller providers, nBrace™ includes cost-effective options that allow participation in NaaS supply chains without requiring a full back-office investment. These providers can use standalone Buyer & Seller portal solutions, allowing them to join NaaS ecosystems with minimal overhead. To further simplify operations, nBrace™ incorporates advanced AI-assisted design features, enabling customers to express service needs in plain language, which nBrace™ matches with optimal supplier components.
