WSO2 CTO to Present Session on APIs and PaaS at QCon London 2014

Technical session will examine use cases and best practices for applying open source approaches to APIs and PaaS in order to build a connected digital ecosystem

Palo Alto, CA – March 3, 2014 – Working in concert, APIs and the cloud are enabling companies to extend business and technical functions within an organization and across divisions, customers and partners. WSO2 Co-founder and CTO Paul Fremantle will examine open source approaches to implementing these technologies at QCon London 2014 in a session entitled "Connecting Everything – APIs & PaaS.” WSO2 is a Silver Sponsor of QCon London, which will run March 5-7, 2014 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.

A Connected Digital Ecosystem with APIs and PaaS

APIs serve to abstract business and technical functions and make them reusable, within organizations, across divisions and between companies. Platform as a service (PaaS) complements this by providing an abstraction from the deployment. In this session, Paul will explore open source approaches to APIs and PaaS and how these technologies can be applied to create new digital connected ecosystems. Additionally, Paul will review use cases of organizations that have implemented digital connected ecosystems—examining how and why they took the approaches that they did, as well as the results they have achieved.

The session will be held 1:20–2:10 p.m. on Thursday, March 6, 2014, as part of the Solutions Track Thursday 2, in the Abbey Room at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.
