Summary

Today's customer-centric, software-powered businesses thrive on connectivity, and connectivity thrives on application programming interfaces (APIs). Mobile apps for customer engagement need APIs to link to enterprise data and transactions. Across a firm's customer experience ecosystem, APIs allow a combination of internal and third-party players to deliver seamless customer value. Whether the need is process optimization, new revenue streams, Internet of Things (IoT), predictive analytics, or something else, APIs facilitate exchange of diverse information and business process flows within and between organizations.
