Hello, I'm Phil Walston from CA Technologies.
One of the biggest challenges for companies in the application economy is having data in silos.
Not to mention backend systems consisting of many legacy applications, SOA, ESB, and so on.
Together with applications in the cloud, systems in different regions and different business units created through acquisition.
Let's take a large Fortune 500 retailer for example.
They have all their systems: supply chain management, e-commerce, CMS – and some of them may be moving to the cloud.
So there's that.
Meanwhile, they also need to improve the experience for their customers, employees and partners by continually deploying new web apps, new mobile apps and perhaps new connected devices as part of the Internet of Things.
So the challenge for their companies – and yours – is to quickly orchestrate, bundle and transform massive amounts of data into something scalable and useful for the modern mobile internet and the Internet of Things.
That brings us to APIs. In concrete terms: managing it effectively.
First, there is the issue of coordinating it across multiple systems. They all may have a different protocol, such as SOAP or REST, and some may communicate in XML versus JSON.
And with the advent of the Internet of Things, new protocols such as MQTT are also becoming increasingly important.
The result? Organizations are unable to abstract the front-end experience from the underlying platform. Because the software changes on both the front and the back – and at different speeds.
That's why effective API management is so crucial.
With the right API management, you can integrate data across silos. So developers can easily create modern and consistent interfaces, touchpoints and applications.
It can also provide advanced tools that let you quickly – even instantly – create REST APIs for your existing systems…
the visibility to monitor and manage API performance.
And the ability to scale APIs to support incredible loads. Like our Fortune 500 retailer, who needs to handle Black Friday purchases that can generate millions of transactions in just a few hours.
For the enterprise, an effective API solution provides connectivity, API design and creation, and the ability to adapt, orchestrate, and transform data from disparate sources.
Beyond the firewall, effective API management provides a way to scale to a much larger ecosystem that includes the cloud, mobile apps, and the Internet of Things. All this while allowing you to easily handle issues such as aggregation, caching, and compression.
At CA, our API management solution offers all of the above, with everything enterprise architects need to create and deploy world-class APIs.
We provide near-instant API creation for better, faster, and more secure integrations.
With features that improve both design and execution time, and give you the ability to quickly modernize legacy architectures.
Our API Management solution is also about policy and security enforcement, so architects can secure, monitor, and control every aspect of their integrations.
This means that they can open up their business without exposing the company to unnecessary risks.
In short, it's the best of everything, so you can do everything you need to compete (and win) in the application economy.
We hope this overview has been helpful and look forward to working with you soon.
