Many traditional companies have perceived the imperative of Digital Transformation and rushed to modernize themselves. This transformation goes beyond the simple digitalization of existing processes, requiring new strategies and technological tools that can enable the implementation of these new strategies.
Many of these companies have complex architectures and legacy systems, which are critical for the business and which present difficulties of evolution. However, they need to work with new technologies, connect partners, applications and devices in a secure and stable manner. In addition, they have the need to quickly launch new services and digital products, integrating all those parts and promoting innovations to face the competition and meet the expectations of customers.
Main challenges for the Digital Transformation of companies
Designing strategies and choosing appropriate solutions / tools
Training and stimulating the commitment of the collaborators
Promoting agility, integration, scalability and security for legacy systems
Combining legacy systems with new technologies (AI + Analytics, IoT, Blockchain, etc.)
Quickly launching initiatives and digital products
Providing favorable environments to test innovations and create MVPs and hackathons
Making agile integration and management of partners
Integrating the different existing channels (omnichannel) and reaching new channels
Monetizing assets and services
Monitoring transactions for fast and accurate troubleshooting
Mounting dashboards + analytics to obtain technical and business insights
Carrying out the governance of authentications, dependencies, versions, deployments, etc.
Offering effective support, generating clear documentation and applying best practices
Why are APIs fundamental to Digital Transformation?
The APIs are a standardized and agnostic means to make integrations between applications, devices and business ecosystems, in an agile and scalable way, and with the possibility of applying mechanisms for security and monitoring.
This simplified and monitored integration reduces support costs, streamlines problem solving, and provides information on the operation of the businesses. In addition, the ability of APIs to combine resources from different elements places them as key enablers for digital transformation, favoring innovation and the rapid launch of new products.
The use of APIs alongside a complete API Management Platform offers key features such as scalability (vertical / horizontal, autoscaling), support for API creation, security and authentication mechanisms, Portal for Developers, testing environment, dashboards, and monitoring of integrations and services.
