API Strategy And Management

APIs have evolved to be the bedrock on which today’s digital economy rests. Extending beyond the role of IT pathways, APIs are capable of disrupting enterprise connectivity at unprecedented levels to provide seamless experiences. This has inspired the trend of API monetization. While some companies offer free, open APIs to connect with widespread developer communities, a few handpicked organizations monetize them and create new lines of business. These organizations have rich digital assets that are uniquely positioned to charge for API access and deliver incremental business value. So, the pressing question is – how do they do it? The answer lies in creating a well-articulated API strategy and its future-focused management. When you have a robust API strategy, you can truly start to turn the API consumer into an API champion.

Ajel understands that APIs are intrinsic to the growth of digital enterprises in today’s age.
