Leveraging the API Management platform: business case examples

Bringing value and efficiency by leveraging the API Management platform is why so many industry movers and shakers choose an API Management solution.

So, what is the real value of an API Management platform for digital business?

As the connective glue that binds the software and modern digital experiences, the API Management platform allows nearly all of these leverage points. Apps, integration into partners’ services, personalized services, machine learning, on-demand availability and network effect—all of these report back to data that has been exposed through an API. This makes APIs among the most foundational points of leverage in modern business ecosystems.

APIs provide the necessary connections between apps, data and services. To break this down in layman’s terms, think of a waiter running back and forth with your dinner order, he communicates between the chef and you, the customer, what is on your plate and delivers it back to you in a seamless manner. Clearly, that doesn’t even begin to cover the real value of an API. Well managed APIs can do a lot more! While businesses tend to recreate APIs for every project—that in itself is a waste of time! The API Management platform can leverage and re-leverage them, saving development time, which makes all enterprise’s APIs running in a solid platform which builds new digital products around the business’s core values and services.
