I have BizTalk/Web Services/Middleware – why do I need an API Management Platform?

A Story…. with help from Vince Vaughn

Intern IT Manager

21

I need to

‘mobilize’

our

existing

systems

We need

more

channels!

22

6 weeks?

Try 6

months.

When we go live with this in

6 weeks. We will leapfrog

the competition and I will

get a huge bonus!!!

Security?

Enrollment?

Governance?

Visibility?

• #$%&#^% IT is too slow!!!

• Amateurs

• I should just outsource everything

I have no idea how we

are going to do this.

It takes 6 weeks just

for change

management.

What is API Management?

This might actually work

since I don’t need to get

the whole IT Department

involved.

…and we

didn’t need

to re-write

backend

services

No Firewall Ports need to be opened

Out of Box Authentication

Throttling and Rate Limiting

Caching

Self Service Enrollment

Leverage existing investments

…and we now have

analytics so we can

track where

requests are coming

from and drive

future investment

I knew we

could do it!

Drinks on me.
