Grow Your Business With APIs - Insights Into SA Fintech Flash (Episode 1 of 3 part series)
Modern enterprises are driven to digitally transform. In the past, customer interactions occurred via an enterprise’s own physical locations or through phone; however, modern consumers seek multiple points of contact and online services. That’s where application programming interfaces (APIs) come into play, as they form the foundation upon which digital businesses are built, allowing developers to create apps and integrations that can serve these needs.
It is important to have an “outside-in” view when building an API strategy, having the necessary governance to track your API assets, and enabling clients and developers easy access to locate and consume these APIs. The strategy should also achieve a quick time to market with a minimum viable product to save costs.
Business boundaries are blurring and your ability to generate revenue and engage customers involves a complex network of service interdependencies. Embracing these is what digital business Flash has done to build and grow its offerings. We have two sessions designed to showcase how Flash achieved this. The sessions will give you the opportunity to ask technical questions, which will help your digital journey.
Who should attend:
The presentation will cater to IT executives as well as IT architects and will be focused on API strategy, integration, and security concepts.
The deep dive will be a technical session catering to the same architects as well as their developers
