Abstract

The embodiments herein disclose a method and a system for creating a singular platform to harness a plurality of technical capabilities in order to deliver multiple digital services such as end user device management, analytics, enterprise mobility, digital identity management, smart device management and so on by orchestrating certain service related support capabilities. The embodiments function as an interface between the user equipment and the applications that are running on several operating systems. Further, an enablement platform is created and modified for a digital ecosystem that sits on the network and user equipment to act as an interface. Essentially, a flexible and extensible API driven platform capable of seamlessly integrating multiple platforms spanning across network services and functions, analytics, device management and orchestration platforms in enabled.
