Case Study: a leading telecom provider achieves zero-downtime API migration with Royal Cyber and IBM API Connect

Expanding the Market Reach with IBM API Connect for a Leading Telecom Provider

A leading U.S. telecom provider faced the challenge of upgrading its API management system from an older version to IBM API Connect version 5.0.x without any downtime. The migration was complicated by custom XSLTs that had been developed in their previous environment. To overcome this, the company engaged vendor Royal Cyber for assistance.

Royal Cyber created a separate infrastructure and worked with IBM to design custom APIC policies, enabling a seamless switch to the new platform. This solution resulted in easy API configuration, secure vendor access, and the creation of internal and external API catalogs. Crucially, the upgrade was completed with zero customer impact.
