Your APIs are to your business what a panel and controls are to a car. Most people have no clue about how a car works under the hood, but knows that if you push the accelerator, the car goes faster, and if you apply your brakes, the car will eventually stop.

Well, that is exactly how good APIs should work! This white paper explains why you need to and how you can adopt an effective API strategy. It demonstrates the most pragmatic way to do this with general insights and real experiences from some of our consultants on the field.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) figures are often published by vendors but can be hard to relate to your own organization or a specific project. Often they involve an over-idealized model of the business. Small deviations between reality and the TCO model assumptions can easily overwhelm the supposed logic of the calculation. In addition too narrow a focus solely on costs (TCO) versus the subtle factors that affect the ROI. This white paper will discuss TCO by presenting some factors inherent to open source software that are hard to quantify in a TCO context but have a significant impact on the long-term outcome.
