OVERVIEW
Increasingly a link node running across businesses is their inevitable journey warranting a need to deal with disaggregated services, different verticals with each domain dramatically changing gaining digital depth and leveraging newer technologies. When there is lot of footprint of newer technologies, processes need to undergo change, integration needs to happen and all of it in sync with changing customer profile and expectations. At a time such as this, range of businesses from healthcare, retails, gaming, banking, financial services and insurance need an API Connect and it is crucial to gather what companies across these businesses expect and to get a sense of their priorities and the advantages API Connect could offer.
As an example of growing relevance and use of APIs, consider this stat: The number of open banking API calls is forecast to grow nearly 6x to 580 billion in 2027. Moreover, the use of APIs is expanding beyond banking.
