Wednesday, September 14, 2016

Webinar Slides
BYU Banner

A university API for Brigham Young University (BYU) was designed to identify the fundamental resources that make up the business of the university and to create a single, consistent API around them. This webinar will discuss

  • Why BYU is implementing a university API
  • Important principles that guide the design, development, and deployment of this API
  • How they address the common problems and issues of doing so
  • The future goals for API management in the university API and the selection criteria that was used

With the above context to a real-world reference in the education sector, Phil and Nuwan will also examine an enterprise integration reference model for the educational domain. They will explore how to integrate third-party systems through APIs and provision data via APIs to partners and partner systems. They will further highlight the importance of identity and entitlement for an API-based ecosystem.
