The SDP was created to provide a single access point for partners to connect to O2's capabilities through standardized protocols. It launched in 2005 with 6 core services accessible through a single security model. Since then, it has reduced time to market, increased integrations and deliveries, and will continue to transform to further improve reuse, flexibility and speed of development through additional services and APIs. Key tips for implementing an SDP include thorough documentation, a standardized security model, support for common programming languages, independent governance, and allowing time for migrating applications.
