APIs – Building blocks for business of the future
Programming interfaces enable improved communication within the entire IT organization thanks to the connection of systems, data and applications. Besides operating system APIs that allow drivers and application software to access the operating system's functions, providing the public use of APIs to third parties results in appealing competitive advantages for companies, as the integration of one's own services into external websites increases recognition and reach. API management systems allow companies to extract true added value from their otherwise idle data thanks to the intelligent grouping of tasks and information from all levels of the Information Supply Chain.
