What Is Digital Transformation?

A key outcome of Digital transformation is in the creation of new business models and meaningful partner and customer ecosystems that allow a business to evolve with the times. Instead of trying to compete by bettering your existing products and services, digital transformation is about disrupting the norm and offering new services and products that transform your business.

Digital transformation is becoming a crucial boardroom discussion, with a recent IDC study proving that two thirds of CEOs place digital transformation at the heart of their business strategies. The process of digital transformation aims to automate, simplify and integrate systems in order to increase profits and streamline business through expanding ecosystems.

How does API management accelerate the creation of digital business ecosystems?

API Management is essential to digital transformation and is integral to providing seamless connections between digital assets. Whilst traditionally APIs have been thought of as functional assets that provide an easy interface for developers, they are now coming into their own as tools that can create new, innovative digital ecosystems.

When APIs are managed well, as products, they become tools to propel your business forward as they facilitate easy communication within and outside the business. Having mature, marketable APIs help other developers and partner businesses to access and integrate your data and resources for their specific applications thereby creating and expanding your digital business ecosystem. As APIs minimize barriers to change, they allow quicker product innovation and overall progress.
